Gamble

[RACHEL02189]

As half the people in Las Vegas were heading home for some sleep one person was getting ready for work. Trina looked out her window at her car as the sun hit the shine on the Candy Cotton pink color. After she finished her teas she went to get ready. Even thou she didn't have to be to work for another hour she wanted to make sure every thing was ready since her boss is coming back from being on vacation for a week. After she got dressed Trina grabbed her keys and left. At Serenity Criss was getting ready for work himself with the biggest smile he could muster. His vacation was one he would never forget. "Christopher" a voice called out. "Upstairs JD"Criss called out fixing his hair. JD came in as Criss put on his hat. "Don't keep me in suspense did Sandra say yes" JD asked. He nodded and JD gave him a hug. "Mom must be doing cartwheels in the sand" JD replied. "Too bad you and the family couldn't come". "When your daughter has to have emergency surgery vacation kind of go out the window" JD replied.

"How is Dimi I heard her appendix came close to bursting". "Two more second and it would of but she's doing good sore but all right. Trina sent her like ten movies to watch while she recouperated"JD replied. "Well if it wasn't for Trina I wouldn't of met Sandra so why don't we get going before Costa tells everyone about my enagement"Criss suggested and they left.

[RACHEL02189]

At the Luxor Trina had finshed getting stuff ready for Criss's return. Let's see maill all sorted, junk mail shreddered, coffee brewing, and I still have ten minutes before Criss comes she thought. Then a knock came to the door and she saw it was Marcus from surveillance. "Hey Marcus what can I do you for?" she asked. "Do you mind coming with me for a minute". "Let me guess my brother is back in town"she replied. "Yup he tried to use this stolen credit card" showing me it. Not again, she thought. "I told you to call the police if he tried this again". "He ran when he found out you called to say the card was stolen. I thought you should know" he stated. "Thanks Marcus and you can shred that card". "All right" and left. Trina went into the bathroom and splashed water on her face.

When Criss and JD showed up they saw George looking at some flowers with a confused look on him. "Confused about something cousin?"Criss inquired spooking George. "Give me a heart attack Criss. For your information I want to buy some flowers for someone but I don't know what kind she likes or if she like flowers at all"George replied. "Why don't you ask her numb nut?"JD asked. "I can't she doesn't know I have a crush on her"George remarked. "Why do I feel like I'm back in high school right now"Criss asked as JD snickered. Then Criss looked up and saw Trina coming out of the bathroom. "Hey Trina come here"Criss called out. Trina walked over. "Hey boss and may I say congratulations" giving Criss a hug. "You were right Trina as always I guess Sandra called you". "Well she is my friend Christopher now what can I help you with". "Help my cousin out he wants to buy some flowers for a girl so which flowers do you like?"Criss asked as Trina looked at them.

"Get the those bright color pansises remind me of my mother's garden in North Carolina" she replied. "Thanks Trina"George said. "You're welcome George see yea in the office Criss". Criss watched his cousin as Trina walked off. "Oh my god you have a crush on Trina"Criss stated. "No I don't"George replied childishly. "Trina and George sitting in a tree K-I-SS-I-N-G FIRST COMES LOVE THAN COMES MARRIAGE-" JD said as George left in a huff. "You're so bad sometime JD"Criss remarked as they went to the office.

[RACHEL02189]

After the meeting Criss was looking through the mail as Trina was doing some of her own work. "I swear Trina is it wasn't for you I'd be lost" Criss stated as Trina smiled. "No you'd probably ber the most disorganized person in Las Vegas" as Criss laughed. Then JD came in with the biggest smile on his face which Criss noticed. "Either you just spend some 'quality time' with Lynn or you just saw your dream car again"Criss remarked. "Yup 1965 Ford, but I'd get laugh at by the color thou. Cotton Candy Pink and with bucket seats. If knew how I'd hot wire that car and go for a test drive"JD stated. "Yea and get arrested for grand theft auto. Mom would be so happy but I'd have to disown your :mad: " Criss said. "Very funny"JD replied. "Why don't you divorce your wife and marry the person who owns the car"Criss suggested as Trina tried not to laugh. "I don't think so Christopher JD isn't my type" Trina said as the guys looked at her with their jaws on the floor.

"Wait a minute you own that car!"JD stated as Criss picked his jaw off the floor. "Yea my dad restored it and gave it to me a few days before he died in a car crash with my mom"Trina replied. "Now I have to see this car". Trina grabbed her keys and they all went outside. Criss's eyes were ready to pop out. "Holly :mad: this car is amazing and beautiful your father did an awesome job" Criss stated. "Why haven't you brought this car to work before. You usually have a car that looked ready for the junk yard". "So who wants to go for a ride?"Trina inquired changing the subject. "Why not to the warehouse my dear"Criss suggested. Trina and Criss got into the front while JD got in back. "I have to get these seats for the Caddy"Criss remarked. "You look ready to melt into those seats bro"JD replied as Trina laughed.

[RACHEL02189]

When they got to the warehouse Costa was outside smoking. "Wow Criss when did you buy this?" he inquired. "Do you really think I'd buy a Cotton Candy pink car Costa my manhood would be called into question"Criss remarked. "It's mine Costa" Trina replied getting out. "Trina let me buy this car I don't care how much I'll even ask Criss for a loan"JD begged. "Hey what am I your personal ATM machine"Criss inquired as Costa chuckled. "Sorry JD CC isn't for sell" as JD looked disappointed. "Why don't you bring the car into the warehouse before JD steals it while we're working"Criss suggested as they chuckled. JD just flipped them off. "Real mature JD"Costa replied as he went to get the door. "You guys are so bad some times"she remarked. "What you never did something like that with your siblings"Criss inquired. "Criss I haven't spoken to my brother in three years since he tried to steal CC from me" she replied. "For what drugs?".

"Worse gambling". Criss felt a tang of pain in his knees. "My parents cut him before he put them into chapter eleven. Now I found out he broke into my house and stole one of mine credit cards. He tried to use it at The Luxor last night but I cancelled the card when I couldn't find it". Criss walked over to her and gave her a hug. "It's all right Trina". After that Trina went to the bathroom to splash some water on her face. After she left Costa came outside and saw Criss rubbing his knee. "Is it going to rain?"he asked. "Not funny Trina just told me her brother is addicted to gambling"Criss stated. "Having flashback of being beating". "Yea I can't believe I almost put mom out on the street because of it" Criss replied. "Well you learned your lesson the hard way thou". "Don't remind me come on let's get this inside before JD decides to take it" and they brought the car in.

[RACHEL02189]

After they brought the car in Trina was doing some inventory when Criss came over. "Here's the keys to the car I thought I'd give them to you before JD had a set made"he stated as she giggled. "Thanks Criss I needed that"she replied smiling. "I was thinking how about I talk to my friend who put my security system-". "The one Hammie keeps setting off" she interuppted as Criss tried not to laugh. "And have him put one in your house and have him change your locks" he suggested. "Thanks Criss". Criss just smiled and left. As he walked back to the office memories of his beat down flashed in his mind. As the day went on Dave came by. "What's up Dave?"Costa said. "Nothing much nice car Criss adding this to the cars and bikes his auctioning off". "Dave do you really think I'd have a pink car?". "Well-". "Not funny" as Dave chuckled. "Take a joke Mindfreak. Who's car is it seriously?". "It's mine Dave"Trina replied walking over.

"Where ever you got it did an excellent job restoring it" looking at it. "My dad did it Dave"she replied. "You could get a ton of cash for this car at the acution people go crazy for classic car" Dave suggested. "Dave she wouldn't even sell it to JD and you know how much JD loves classic cars"Criss replied. "I wouldn't sell CC even if my house was in forclousure this car means everything to me. My father worked hard to restore this car and when he finished it he gave it to me as a gift. I was so happy that I promised him I'd never sell it and I've kept that promise so far" Trina remarked smiling.

[RACHEL02189]

When they all got back to The Luxor Criss looked at some of cars he had there. As he looked at them Trina just watched while making some notes as George came by. "Trina why are you watching Criss?" he asked. "Seeing if I can guess which cars an/or bikes he's giving up to auction in a few weeks" looking at the list. "The hummer no way Criss loves that hummer nexts to Lambo" George remarked. "All right I bet you that he put the Hummer up for auction" she stated. "All right" and they shook hands. "All right I've decided". "Which ones Criss?"Trina inquired. "My 2006 Viper, 2007 M13 Lanesplitter Motorcycle,, the 1969 Camaro-". "Wow Count isn't going to like that"George stated. "My 2007 nub Motorcycle". "Anything else". "The Hummer". George's eyes popped out of their sockets. "All right I'll call the auction house and have them picked up," she stated. Criss went inside as George stood there. "I told yea". "You won what do you win?". "I'll tell you later George" she stated and left. The next day Trina came outside to find her brother waiting for her. "I thought I told you to stay away from my house Marcus" she remarked. "I just need to talk to you and maybe get some cash".

"How much do you own them now?". "Five hundred thousand dollars I was thinking that maybe you can ask your boss for a loan,” he suggested. She pushed her brother aside and got into her car. “Please Trina”. “Sorry Marcus I told you I wouldn’t help you untill you got help” she stated and left. When she got to The Luxor Criss was just getting there. “This is a first you’ve never been late expect for traffic jams what’s up?”Criss asked. Trina looked at Criss as tears were falling down her face. “Marcus was at the house he wanted $500,000.000 from me. Then he has the nerve to said maybe I can ask you for it. In all my life I can’t believe he’d say that” wiping the tears away. “It’s one of the problems with addiction you have to let the addict hit rock bottom before they’ll ask for help”Criss remarked.

“How would you know?” wiping her tears away. “I’ve been where your brother is”Criss admitted. Trina got out of her car and walked over to him. “Criss Angel had an addiction call STAR magazine” she said. Iit’s not something I’m proud of but it took the thought of having my mother out on the street that showed me what I was doing was stupid and I needed to stop” Criss stated. “Is this one of the reason you don’t play card games at any of the hotel?”. “Yea but they say that it’s my sight of hand that got me banned so kept it to yourself” Criss said. “Thanks Criss” and they went in.

[RACHEL02189]

During the afternoon Criss decided to get in a work out before he went to for a run through of Believe. When Criss came in he saw George working out as well. “This is a first I usually have this place to myself” Criss replied. “I wanted to get in shape considering”George stated lifting some weights. “Is this because of your crush on Trina?” Criss asked. Before he could answer Trina came down. “Trina what a surprise what are you doing down here?” Criss inquired. “After what happened today JD suggested I should work out a little and let the stress of this morning fall off” as she went to stretch out. After she finished that Trina went for a run on the treadmill. Criss turned and looked at his cousin who kepting looking at Trina every now and than. For some reason Criss saw himself doing the same thing when he first saw Sandra. Criss went over to his cousin and brought him into the men’s dressing room. “George you don’t have a crush on Trina you're in love with her”Criss explained. “I want to ask her out but I just go brain dead and my whole body stops working”George replied.

“You really have the hots for her don’t you”. “I guess so Criss help me”George begged. “I’ve got an idea,” and Criss walked over to Trina. “Trina”he said standing next to the treadmill. “What’s up Criss?” she asked. “You can say no if you want to but my cousin George is been in a runt with the ladies and I was wondering if I could set you up with him just to get some confidence back in him” Criss asked. “No problem”. “I’ll talk to Sandra and we’ll make it a double date” Criss suggested. “Just tell her to call me with the details”she remarked. Criss went to the dressing room. “It’s on but there’s something we have to do with you?”. “What’s that?”George inquired. “Make over now go take a shower we’re going shopping”Criss stated. After Criss and George showered they went shopping while Trina went shopping with Sandra. “Thanks for coming with me” Trina said. “No problem what are friends for. So it’s a double date tonight Criss and I with George and you” Sandra remarked. “Yea I feel like it’s pity date because George has been in a runt as Criss put it” she replied. “Don’t consider it that. Criss wouldn’t set up a pity date for George Costa maybe” as they laughed.

Trina came out in a midnight blue cocktail dress with spaghetti straps. “What do you think?” she asked. “It’s dinner not going to Pure afterwards” Sandra stated. “Too short”. “Any shorter I can tell what color underwear you’re wearing” as Trina giggled. "Maybe you should buy it for Criss's birthday"Trina suggested. "Please if I bought that I'd be giving Criss CPR" as the girls chuckled. In another part of the mall Criss was picking out some clothes for his cousin. “I can’t believe I’m doing this”George stated from inside the dressing room. “Come on you want to make a nice impression so Trina will go out with you again” giving him a shirt. “But what if I act like an idiot”George inquired. “George just keep you brain awake and you’ll do fine”. “I hope I can do this” George stated. “Come on George think of me as your wingman”. George came out and he had on a pair of black demin pant, a black and white print shirt, and dress shoes. “What do you think?”. “Add a chain and you got your next halloween costume”Criss joked. “I don’t like the shirt either”George stated and went back in.

[RACHEL02189]

At Serenity Criss and George were getting ready. "Tell me again why we're getting ready here and Sandra and Trina are getting dressed at Trina's house?" George asked. "Sandra wanted to talk to Trina about something I guess girl stuff"Criss replied shaving. After they got dressed they left in Lambo. When they got to the restaurant George froze where he was standing. "What's wrong?" Criss inquired. "I-I-can't do this Criss". "Come it's just dinner it's not like you're asking her to marry her"Criss stated. "I think I'm going to throw up" and George ran over to a bush to do so which Criss couldn't believe. In the restaurant I was talking to Sandra. "He set off fireworks I wish you could of been there". "Sorry I just didn't have the money for Cabo beside untill my brother gets a handle on his addiction I can't leave CC alone" she remarked. "Is that why you disconnected the starter when we got here" Sandra inquired raising an eyebrow.

"I wonder where the guys are?"Trina said looking around. Outside George was cleaning himself up when Criss's phone rang. "Hello". "Christopher where are you guys?". "We're outside George is so nervous he puked now I may have to buy this restaurant a shrub for their front lawn"Criss remarked. "Real nice kind of reminds me of when you got food poisoning when you met my parents and I think throwing up in my mom's rose bushes made a great impression too" she said as Criss blushed. "Don't remind me" Criss stated. Then Trina came over. "If that's Criss tell him to hurry up before I go home and curl up with a book" she suggested. "We'll be in I just got to-George the trash can not the-". Sandra hung up. "What's going on?". "I think dinner is cancelled why don't we go out the other way some drunk guy is puking his guts out". "How nice I'll get our coats"Trina replied. Sandra sent a text that dinner was cancelled which Criss agreed and took his cousin to his house. When Trina got home two guys were waiting for her which made her nervous. "You Trina?". "May I asked who you are?" she asked still sitting in her car.

"We're looking for your brother he owes us a lot of money from the Patroit/Charger game" the guy replied. "Let me guess five hundred thousand dollars" Trina remarked looking at them. "Well with interest it's one point five million" as one of the guys took the keys out of the ingination. Trina started to get nervous. "Listen I haven't seen my brother since he asked me for the money so if you excuse me I have work in the mornng" she replied opening the door but the guy on her side shut the door as the other guy got in. As he got in Trina saw he was packing. "Maybe we should just ask your boss Christopher Sarantokas for the cash instead". "Someone say my name?"a voice called out. Trina turned around and saw Criss walking up. "Well well nice to see you again and I see you healed well from the last time we met". "Look guys she has nothing to do with her brother. I betch you five to one that you don't have a permit for that gun Ernie so unless you want me to call the police I'd beat it and tell Victor to leave Trina alone"Criss ordered.

The guys looked at Criss and left. "Old friends of yours?" she asked getting out. "I'm surprise those guys are still alive considering you all right". "Yea just waiting for my heart to slow down I can't believe Marcus got me involved in this" she replied. "Well tonight you're staying with me just incase those guys decide to revisit so go inside and get some stuff and I'll stay outside and watch CC". "All right" and went in.

[RACHEL02189]

At Serenity Sandra was making herself a sandwich when Criss and Trina came in. "Trina what are you doing here,". Trina went over and gave her friend a hug. "Trina you're shaking what happened Criss" she asked looking at Criss. "Some guys were looking for her brother and were trying to intimidate Trina into telling them where he was so I brought Trina and CC here just incase they make a reappearance"Criss replied. "if it wasn't for Criss I might of been shot of worse been buried in the desert like they did in the forties"Trina stated. "Well you're safe here why don't you go take a shower and I'll make you some tea to calm your nerves". "Thanks guys" and she went into Criss's mom's room. Sandra walked over to Criss and gave him a hug. "Thanks for checking up on her for me" she remarked. "Well your intuition is way better than mine" giving her a kiss. "At first I thought Trina was crazy to set me up with you but I guess I was wrong considering"she stated.

"Now only if I get my cousin to sit down and have a date with Trina with out puking his guts out and me paying to have their lawn and shrubs redone"Criss suggested as Sandra went to get the tea ready. The next day Criss woke up to find Sandra not next to him so he went downstairs and found both Trina and Sandra sleeping on the floor like they had a sleepover which made Criss chuckle. He grabbed the keys to his car, left a note and left before anyone woke up. When he got to The Luxor JD was there. "What the hell Criss I thought we had a deal when you moved out here about gambling". "Hold on JD first what the heck are you talking the only time I gambled was four years ago for that episode on season two with the roulette wheel"Criss stated. "Then why are there two guys that I remember very well at your production office waiting"JD replied. Criss looked and saw them. ":mad: they're not for me they're for Trina her brother owes them money and he involved her and indirecdtly me"Criss replied. "So you're not gambling?". "I swore to you, mom, and Costa that I wouldn't gamble and I've kept that promise". THANK GOD JD thought.

*FROM CRISS ANGEL CARNIVAL

"Now what do we do about them?". "Easy Erine carries around a gun and I know he doesn't have a permit to consel it so call the police or have security arrest them"Criss suggested. "I'll call Marcus" and JD went to call him. In the hotel the guys were looking around waiting for either Trina or Criss when Marcus and a few officers came. The guys knowing they were coming for them started to run but they were arrested. As they were frisked they found Erine's gun. When they left Criss went in with JD. "Thanks for the heads up JD" Marcus remarked. "No problem" and they went in to find Doug and Banacheck asking what was going on.

"Long story guys"JD replied. "Does it have to do with that little secret you relieved *when we did that disappear illusion at a carnival?"he asked. "You could say that"Criss replied. "Have you relapsed?"Doug asked. "No the first think I did when I lived at The Aladdin and The Luxor to make sure they put a banned on me and to tell all of the hotels not to let me play cards or the roulette wheel"Criss replied. "Well let's just hope you don't relaspe Christopher because I'm not going through what we went through last time with those creeps"JD stated.

A few days went by and Trina hadn't heard from her brother but everyone on the Mindfreak crew loved her car even The amazing Jonathon offered to buy it from her which she declined. "Come on Crissy see if you can get her to let me have it" he begged Criss. "Sorry Jonathon everyone has offered even JD but she sayes no so don't look at me for help"Criss replied. Jonathon left as George came in. "What's going on cous". "Nothing much you want to go out for dinner?" Criss asked. "Why not"George replied. "All right I'll see you after Believe" Criss stated and left. After he left Criss called Sandra and told him what he had up his sleeve. "Criss you're smart" as Criss smiled. "They don't call me the mindfreak for nothing" and hung up. That night George went to the restaurant and sat at the bar as Trina walked in.

"George"she stated. George nearly spit out his drink when he heard her voice. "Trina what are you doing here?". "I'm meeting Sandra for dinner you". "Meeting Criss for dinner"he replied. "Here you go one rum and coke" the bartender said giving Trina the drink. "You want to get a set before we're having dinner at the bar" she suggested. "Why not" and they went to get a table. As they waited George and Trina talked than George's phone rang so he got up and took it. "Hello". "Hey cous I hope you like my surprise". "You SOB I can't believe you did that"George stated. As George talked Trina's phone rang. "Hey Trina I'm sorry to do this but I can't make it for dinner". "Did you know George was going to be here". "No I swear"Sandra remarked looking at Criss who was on the phone with George. "I don't think I can do this"George remarked. "George relax all right just enjoy yourself" and hung up. “I swear Sandra if you and Criss set me up-“. “Relax Trina just enjoy it” and hung up as well.

[RACHEL02189]

After George came back to the table Trina was getting up. "Where you going?". "Sandra called she's not coming and I bet you five bucks Criss isn't coming either so why don't we just end this" she suggested. "Trina you're right Criss isn't coming but there's something I've been dieing to say to you but too nervous to tell you". "What's that George?" she asked. "That eversince you joined the crew I've had such a crush on you but I've been too nervous to ask you" he replied. "Did Criss know this". "Yea he could tell my cousin could read me like a book so why don't we sit down and have dinner". Trina smiled and sat down. The next day Criss came in and saw Trina and George talking next to her car. Criss watched a few minutes than walked in. When Criss got in JD was looking over a few things. "I see George finally had that date with Trina" he stated.

"It took some misdirection from me and Sandra but they did it". "So have you and Sandra decided on a date yet"JD remarked. "Not yet but I want to ask you to be my best man"Criss asked his brother. JD went over to Criss and gave him a hug. "Thanks". Outside Trina and George were talking when a cop car pulled up. Don't tell me he got arrested again Trina thought as the cop walked over to them. "Are you Trina Gates?". "What did my brother do now?" she asked. "Your brother was brought into LV general looks like he took a pretty bad beating". "How bad?"George inquired. "Pretty bad"the officer said. "Thank you officer" and he left as Trina wiped some tears away. "You all right?"George asked. Trina wiped the tears away and got into the car. "Tell Criss I won't be in today" and drove off.

When George came in Criss asked him where Trina was. "Her brother was beaten up so Trina left"George replied. "They must of found her brother and beat him"Criss said rubbing his knee. "But why?"George asked a little confused. "Her brother has a gambling addiction"JD remarked. "Bringing back some memories Criss?". "Don't remind me everytime she talks about it my knees hurt"Criss replied. "And in some twist of fate the guys that are after Trina's brothers are the same guys who went after Criss"JD added.

[RACHEL02189]

At the hospital Trina was sitting with her brother who looked like he went ten round with a UFC fighter and lost horrible. "Oh Marcus you really put yourself into the hole this time" she muttered. After Trina finished her visit she head for the elevator when it opened Ernie was standing there. She stepped back but another guy grabbed her and brought her into the elevator than threw her to the ground. When the door closed Ernie stopped the car. "What do you want?"she asked getting up. "Just the money that your brother owes us". "Listen I don't have that much money I may work for Criss Angel but I get paidas much as most people"she replied. "But there's one thing that has value your car". "CC noway I swore to my father I would never sell her". Ernie pulled out his gun and pointed it at her.

"You sell the car or you're going to be sharing a room with your brother" he replied. "And if you tell your boss or the police your brother will die". Ernie put the gun away and turned on the elevator which opened and Trina ran out. Back at the Luxor Criss was calling Trina but it went to voice mail so he hung up. A knock came to the door and Sandra came in. "You all right you look worried". "Trina's brother got beat up probably from the same guy who he owed money too"Criss replied. "I should call her and see how she is". "I tried but it went to voice mail"he repled. "You all right Criss?". "Yea just worried about Trina"he stated. Sandra gave him a kiss as JD came in. "Get a room you two". "What do you want JD?"Criss asked. "I got a list of the cars that are being sold at the auction and look what was just added". "Oh my god" and showed it to Sandra. "Is this Trina's?". "Yup I talked to the auctioneer and he described Trina to a 'T' she said that she wouldn't sell that car for anything". Criss's knees started to throb. "Unless someone threated her"Criss replied.

[RACHEL02189]

When Trina got home she couldn't believe what she had done. She put up the one thing she swore to her father that she wouldn't sell up for auction. Trina felt so bad she went to her room slammed the door shut and started to cry. At Serenity Criss was playing with a quarter as Sandra came in. "What's wrong Christopher you look upset?". "JD gave me a list of some of the other stuff that's for sale at the auction. Trina put her classic car up for auction". "Are you serious Trina would rather die than auction off that car"she remarked in shock. "I have a feeling she was threated by the people who her brothers owe money to"Criss replied. "I'm going to call Trina" and Sandra left. A knock came to the door so Christopher got up. When he opened the door nobody was there expect a envelope.

"Who was that Christopher?". "I don't know"he stated. Criss sat down and opened the envelope. "Meet me at six at Rosca in The Luxor" Criss read. "Talk about being secretive"Sandra replied as Criss's knees started to ache. Around six Criss went to Rosca and once Criss walked in he saw someone from his past. "Christopher please take a seat"the man stated. Criss started to sweat as his mouth went dry as the desert that Las Vegas was built on. "Victor I hope I would never see your face again"Criss remarked sitting down. "Well I wanted to catch up with you"he replied. "Give me a break the only thing you want from me was ten thousands dollars which you beat me almost to my death for when I told you I wouldn't pay you"Criss stated. "Call me surprise when I heard you survived the beating we gave you"he remarked. "Why the meeting Vic after this long you want me to pay my debt plus interest?". Criss felt his heart drop to his stomach wondering if this was the reason Victor wanted this meeting. "Don't worry Christopher your debt was paid in full. This isn't the reason I wanted you here" he stated. "Than what is it?" Criss asked a little nervous.

"It seems one of my associates has decided to go a little out of his duties so to speak". "A little more information Victor"Criss asked. "He threated one of your assoicates into paying his brother's debt. This is something I frown upon so I would like for you to give this registeration back to your associate". He gave Criss the pink slip to Trina's car. "What happens to her brother?". "Well the debt will still have to be paid" he stated. "I heard it was a million five"Criss remarked. "Well it seems my associate is keeping some money for himself because the debrt is only five hundred thousands" Victor said. "How about this Vic I'll make you a deal I pay the debt and your associates stay away from Trina and her brother"Criss remarked. "Let me think about it and I'll give you my answer". Criss got up and was about to leave. "Before I forget Christopher you should thank your brothers they were the ones who paid your debt "Victor mentioned.

The next day Criss was looking over some stuff when Trina walked in. "Hey Criss you wanted to see me" she remarked. "Yea sit down" and she did. "I found out you put CC up for auction". "I know" she said. "And I know why you did it for your brother". Tears fell down her face. "I-I-had no choice they would of killed me if I didn't pay them". Criss got up and gave her some tissue. "Thanks Criss" wiping away the tears. "I have something else for you" and pulled out the pink slip to her car. "This is the pink slip to CC but how did you get it" she asked a bit confused. "It seems your brother's debt was allready paid and the guys who threated you were shaking you down for more money. When their boss heard what they were doing he decided to give CC back to you" he replied. Trina smiled. "Thanks Criss but-". "But what?". "My brother after he gets out of the hospital he's going to gamble again. I don't want what happened to my brother happen again"she stated.

Criss gave her hug. After he finished with Trina JD and Costa stopped by. "Christopher where are you?"Costa called out. "Probably having some fun with Sandra"JD muttererd as Criss walked out of his office . "Right here guys thanks for coming over"he stated. "What did you need to talk to us about" Costa asked as they sat down. "I saw Victor last night-". "Your ex-bookie Victor if you did-". "Relax he decided to give back CC to Trina" Criss replied. "So what are we doing here?"Costa inquired. Criss pulled out two envelopes and gave them to his brothers. Costa opened the envelope and saw it was a check for five thousand dollars. "What's this for?"JD asked. "Vic told me you guys paid my debt to him so I'm paying you back"Criss replied. "Criss you don't-". "I have a confession to make too if I didn't have you guys watching my back that first year I was here I'd probably be where Trina's brother is right now" Criss replied. "Do you still get that itch?"Costa inquired. "Not as much as I use to but sometimes I do get that itch"Criss admitted.

banging head help I need an idea

[RACHEL02189]

After talking with his brothers Criss went for a walk to clear his mind and maybe help Trina with her brother. As he walked Criss got an idea and called Trina. "Hello" she stated. "Hey Trina when does your brother get out of the hospital?". "Tomorrow why". "I have an idea meet me at The Luxor" and hung up. When she got there Criss was waiting for her. "So what's the idea Mindfreak?" as she sat down. Criss told her what he had planned but Trina didn't know if it would work. "Trina when I was in the same boat as your brother I almost used the money that my mom gave me after she refinanced the house to pay for my New York show to pay my bookie and maybe get in on a card game but as I drove to meet my bookie my mind kept telling me 'NO'. I ingored it untill I was at a red light and I turned and I swear I saw my mom on the street and a sign on the house that said foreclosed. I knew right there my dad didn't want me to do that to my mother"Criss stated.

"So instead of paying your bookie you got assaulted". "Yea both knees broking, all the ribs on my left side broking or cracked, internal bleeding, and had to have my spleen removed. After I got better I sat down with my mother and brothers I swore to them on my father's grave that I would never gamble again and I haven't. If this works mabe your brother will see what my dad showed me" Criss replied. "All right Criss I hope it works for his shack".

[RACHEL02189]

The next day Trina's brother was waiting for Trina when someone walked in. "Hey I know you you're Criss Angel my sister Trina works for you" he stated. "Your sister asked me to bring you somewhere". "If she thinks I'm going to a gambler's anonymous-". "Just come with me" and they left. As Criss drove Marcus inquired on where they were going. "You'll see". When they got there Marcus knew where he is. They kept walking untill Marcus saw me talking to someone. "Who's that guy Trina's talking to?". "The guy who runs the auction Trina put up CC"Criss replied. "You mean the car she swore to my dad that she'd never sell"he stated shocked. "She'll selling the car to pay your debt"Criss stated. "The next car is a 1965 Ford convertible" the auctioner called out. Marcus couldn't believe it as the biddng started. Criss even bid on it. "You're bidding on it!!"Marcus declared. "Yea it would look good in my collection after I repaint it"Criss replied.

Marcus felt sick as Criss won the car. Trina walked over and gave Criss the registeration. "Here you go boss" with tears falling down her face. "Thanks Trina now that I think of it maybe I'll give it to JD for his birthday". Trina looked at her brother. "I hope you're happy bro it's your gambling that made me brake my promise to dad". Trina wanted to slap him but instead she saw tears rolling down his face so she walked off instead. "Ican't believe she did that for me". "She had no choice it was either sell her car or plan your funeral"Criss replied. "I've tried so hard to quit but it kept pulling me back in"Marcus remarked. "Consider this your wake up call Marcus" and Criss walked off leaving Marcus there.

[RACHEL02189]

After the auction Trina hadn't seen or heard from her brother. She wondered if he was either gambling or getting his life together. At the production office Criss was looking over a few things when George came in. "Criss where's Trina?"he asked. "She went to a bridal fitting with Sandra. Why?"Criss inquired. "I went to get some gas and I saw Trina's brother there working on a car"he said. "Seriously". "Yea so I talked to Freddy who runs the place. He told me Marcus came in three weeks ago looking for work. Freddy wasn't sure about him but when he fixed a problem with a car that had been bugging him he hired Marcus on the spot" George stated. "But is he still gambling if the question?"Criss wondered. Then Gerard came in telling Criss someone was outside that wanted to talk to him. Criss went outside and standing next to his bikes was Marcus.

"Marcus what are you doing here?"he asked. "I wanted to talk to you about CC. I want to buy it back from you". "With what Marcus I don't take IOU" Criss replied. "I have a job now and I'll pay you as much as I can even if I have to get ten jobs"he remarked. "What about gambling have you stopped?"Criss asked. "Yes I haven't been in any casinoes, haven't betted on anything. That's one of the reason I asked you to come outside so I wouldn't get tempted" Marcus stated. "Let me talk to my brother first". Marcus said thanks and left.

[RACHEL02189]

When Criss came back George was waiting for him. "So". 'Trina's brother was outside he wants to buy back CC for Trina"Criss replied a little shock. "What are you going to do?". Before Criss could answer Trina came back. "Let me talk to Trina first"Criss replied. Trina came in and saw George and Criss just standing there like mannequins. "What is my fly down?"she asked looking. "No Trina sit down for a minute". A little worried she sat down. "What Criss?". "George was telling me he saw your brother working at a garage". "Yea right your eyes were probably playing a trick on you"she remarked. "Trina I just met him outside a few minutes ago he wants to buy back CC for you". Trina didn't believe this. "Trina he said that he hasn't stepped into any casinioes or betting on anything"Criss stated.

"Criss he's just playing with you it's a con" and walked off but George went after me. "Trina wait". "George I know my brother he hasn't changed since he started to gamble". "Trina what if the con we played on him woke Marcus up to change his life for himself" George suggested. "Take me to the garage" and they left. At the garage Marcus was working as George and Trina came in. He didn't even realize they were there as Trina got out of the car surprised to see her brother working. "Marcus". He turned around and saw Trina. "Trina how did you know". "George and Criss told me I can't believe your working instead of gambling"she replied. "I guess seeing your boss buy CC from you so you could pay my debt it made me think of how this addiction has destroyed my life. I decided to get some help so I started to go to gambler anonymous meetings and Freddy who i met there gave me a job here and a place to live, but I knew if I wanted to right my wrong with you I needed to talk to Criss about getting CC back to you"he replied.

Tears started to fall down Trina's face as George just watched. "Marcus I have to tell you something and I hope you understand this but Criss helped you see what gambling was doing to you so set up the plan of 'auctioning' CC" Trina stated. "Seriously" he said. "Yea my boss was in your shoes his mother mortaged her house so Criss could have his show but Criss was going to use it to pay his bookie but he thinks his father who passed away was showing him that if he used that money that way his mother would lose the house and live out on the street. Criss couldn't do it so he got beatede witin an inch of his life. After he recovered he swore to his family that he wouldn't gamble ever again" Trina remarked. Marcus put his hands on Trina's shoulder. "Your boss is a smart man to pull that con on me and after you telling me this I'm happy he did" and gave Trina a hug as tears fell down both their faces.

[RACHEL02189]

Almost a year passed and Trina's brother has kept his word about gambling which made her happy. Back at the Luxor JD was looking for Criss when Costa came over. "Costa have you seen Criss I can't find him anywhere" he said. "You know Criss he reappears and disappears like a ghost he's probably went to do something for his wedding"Costa remarked. "I don't know I'm getting that pit of my stomach feeling I get when Criss puts his life on the line"he replied. When Trina arrived at work she saw Criss talking to a guy than she watched as Criss gave him some money. She walked over as the guy left. "What was that about?" she asked spooking Criss that he dropped what was in his hand. "Trina you scared me," about to pick up something but Trina beat him to it. She saw they were betting slips some over a thousand dollars.

"Trina it isn't what you think"he replied. "Criss I'm not stupid these are betting slip you're gambling". "It's just some small bets"he said but she wasn't buying them. "What you think $10,000 dollars for the Patroit to beat The Broncos by ten point or more is little. Criss you promised your family you wouldn't gamble anymore". "What they don't know won't hurt them"he stated and left. Trina knew what she had to do before Criss got too far in. While Criss was filming something she asked JD, Sandra, and Costa to meet her at Serenity. At the house Trina arrived as Sandra asked what was going on. "I can't tell you untill JD and Costa come". A knock came to the door and Sandra got it. At the door was a big guy looking for Criss. "I'm sorry he isn't here" she said a little afraid. "Well tell him Jackayl is looking for him" and left. Dam it Criss as JD and Costa came in through the back.

"What's with the secret meeting at Serenity?"Costa asked as they all sat down. "It's about Criss he's gambling again"she remarked. "Are you sure Trina that Criss is gambling again"Sandra asked. She took a betting slip out of her pocket. "Criss dropped this" and JD looked at it. "A thousand dollar bet on the Heat winning their game against the Lakers by three point or less!!!"JD stated. "I can't believe Criss is gambling again he promised us he wouldn't do it". "We have to stop him or he's going to end up like my brother did"Trina replied. The door opened and Criss walked in wondering why everyone was there.

[RACHEL02189]

"Tell us the truth Criss are you gambling again"Costa asked straight out. "No I promised you guys that I wouldn't" Cris remarked. "You're lying through your teeth Christopher Trina told us everything"JD replied. "It's a joke the slips aren't real" Criss said. "Criss Jackyal came looking for you"Trina stated as Criss went white. "I told him I'd have the money by tonight"Criss mumbled. "Criss when did this start"JD asked. "I don't know Jonathon took me to a betting palor so he could bet on some horses. He told me that I should put a bet down so I did and won like a hundred dollars". "So you decided to let the bug bite you again. Christopher you need to stop or you're going to end up like Trina's brother" Costa stated. Criss said nothing. "How about this Christopher you stop and get help or I'm calling off the wedding" Sandra replied. Criss's mouth fell to the floor. "You would end this relantionship just because of this"Criss inquired shocked.

"What's it going to be Criss keep gambling untill they forclouse on this house you have and lose the woman you told me that you could see living the rest of your life with the first time you saw her or get help"Trina asked. "All right I'll stop and get help". "But first you pay off your bookie". "All right"Criss stated. "Give me all the betting slips you have on you right now"Costa remarked holding out his hand. Criss went into his pocket and took four betting slips and gave them to Costa. Costa took them all and went to the kitchen. He turned on the water and put them down the garbage disposal. Criss felt like he was going to puke when he saw the slips go down the drain like that. "Also give me your credit cards, bank cards and any money you have on you"JD said. Criss took out his license and gave JD his wallet.

"And to make sure you don't take any money out of these I'm calling your bank and telling them not to let you touch your mone unless you have my signature or Costa's". "And if I ever find out you're betting you can forget me and Costa working for you"JD said. "I know now do you mind coming with to the bank I got to get eight hundred dollars to pay Jackyal or have my knees broking again" Criss stated. "And after that Criss you're going to a GA meeting with my brother" and Criss left with Costa.

BANGING HEAD!!!!!!:confused:

[RACHEL02189]

A few weeks had gone by since Criss's relaspe into gambling. During lunch Sandra and Trina went to get a few things for the wedding which was coming up. Back at The Luxor Criss was taking a walk around the artium when he came upon George at a jewelary store. Criss watched as they gave George a box and shook his hands. What are you up to George as George left the place. Criss decided to do a little investigating and followed his cousin. At a flower shop he watch George ordered some flowers but what they were Criss couldn't hear. George came out and walked over to a resteraunt that Criss knew I loved. Criss watched George talk to the manager and gave him the box.

"Just don't lose it". "We won't and don't worry what we have planned will knock your girlfriends socks off"he replied. "I'm just praying she doesn't say no"George remarked and left. Oh my god George is going to ask Trina to marry him. At the house Sandra and Trina were having lunch. "I'm so nervous look at my hands they're shaking"Sandra remarked. "Sandra you're not getting married for another nine months so relax"she replied. "How are you and George doing?'. "Good but I'm getting a bad feeling like I did with my brother"I stated sitting down. "What do you mean?" she inquired sitting next to her. "That he might want to break up with me". "Why would you say that Trina George loves you like I love Criss" Sandra said. "Maybe I'm just freaking out" Trina stated. "Maybe George is going to ask you to marry him". After hearing those words Trina ran to the sink and vomited.

"You all right?". "Sandra I don't think I could marry George is he did"she remarked. "Don't tell me you're not going to marry him because your first marriage ended horribly". Before she could answer the door opened. "Sandra". Sandra came out of the kitchen as Criss walked over. "You won't believe what I found out-". "Criss". "Let me finish George is going to ask Trina to marry her probably tonight"Criss said. "Criss Trina's here". Coming out of the kitchen was Trina. "Oh my god I'm so sorry I ruined the surprise for you Trina"Criss replied. "It's all right because I can't marry George I need to go". Trina grabbed her coat and left.

[RACHEL02189]

Criss was stunned as Sandra walked over to him "I wish you would of listened to me Christopher"Sandra remarked as he sat down. "Sandra why doesn't she want to get married to my cousin". She sat down. "It's not George it's marriage in general that scares her"she replied. "Why I'm just confused about this"he remarked. "Talk to Trina about it Criss"she said. The next day Trina came in to see Criss allready there. "This is a first" she stated. "I wanted to talk to you before anyone else came in". Trina turned around and looked at Criss. "About what?"she asked. "About why marriage scares you"he stated. "A few years before my parents passed I met a guy and seven months later we got married". "But something happened that made the marriage fall apart"Criss remarked. "He cheated on me with my best friend".

"Not-". "Not Sandra Criss her name's Stella. When I caught them he decided right than to ask for a divorce but instead I kicked him where it hurts". Criss crossed his legs when that thought hit him. "I also assault Stella. When I got divorced that :mad: I swore I wouldn't get married again"she remarked. "Trina I can understand where you're coming from considering I've been divorced myself but instead of swearing off marriage I finally found someone who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Trina take a gamble and say yes to George all right". "Maybe you're right Christopher considering. I'll see you later" and left. "Wait a minute what do you mean considering"Criss inquired as he went after Trina.

[RACHEL02189]

When Criss caught up with Trina he asked what she ment by considering. "I can't say"she remarked. "What do you mean you can't say come on Trina". "I can't tell you because I'm not sure"she replied. "About what Trina". "You say anything to George or anyone I'll make sure everyone from your fans to every magician from here to Spain has your secret"Trina warned Criss. "All right I swear on my father's grave now what is it?". "I might be pregnant". "So you're not sure that a little George might be walking around here soon"Criss said. "Yea I'm waiting on some test from my doctor so I'll know soon I have to go Criss"she remarked and left. As Criss got back to the production office George was there looking down.

"What's wrong with you?"Criss asked sitting next to him. "I was going out with Trina last night but she called to tell me that she was under the weather and couldn't go out but when I went to her apartment to bring her son soup her neighbor saaid she was with Sandra". "So she told a fib to you. You look like she dumped you"Criss replied. "I'm going to ask her to marry me maybe I'm just fooling myself" as George got up. "Listen George you didn't hear this from me but Trina was married before and it wasn't good the guy cheated on her with her best friend"Criss remarked. "So she's nervous about getting married again". "That's what it feels like to me"Criss said. "Wait a minute why would she be freaking out about this she didn't know about it". "I heard her talking to Sandra last night she saw you at a jewelary store buying the ring"Criss stated. "You all right Criss you look pale all of a sudden". "just go talk to her" and George left. After George left Criss grabbed a trash bucket and threw up. I hate this trigger of lieing he muttered as he wiped his mouth

[RACHEL02189]

Back at her apartment Trina was pacing waiting for the doctor to call. "Come on doc call". A knock came to the door. "Come in"She called out and her brother came in. "Trina can you explain to me why you boyfriend called to ask me for your hand in marriage" he asked. "Marcus this is not a good time"she replied. "Trina did you accept the proposal?"her brother asked. "I haven't even gotten it yet bro. Excuse me" and went into the bathroom. As she was in the bathroom the phone rang and Marcus picked it up. "Hello she's busy can I take a message. Thanks" and hung up as Trina came in. "Trina that was your doctor saying that your test results came back positive". Trina couldn't believe it. "Am I going to be an uncle"he asked. "I guess so"she replied. "Does George know about this" he inquired. "I wanted to make sure before I said anything. Now I have to find George and tell him he's going to be a father".

At Serenity the guys were having a drink with Criss. "So you're going to ask Trina to marry you". "I was but she-". Then Sandra came out. "George Trina is here to see you"she said. George went in but Sandra kept the guys outside. "Sandra what's going on?"JD inquired. "Trina wants to talk to George privately. Also I have to tell you something Christopher"she replied. Inside Trina was sitting so George sat next to her. "Well first I wanted to apologize to you for last night I freaked out when I found out through Criss that you were going to ask me to marry you". "Trina I know you were married before and it turned ugly at the end but I swear I will never cheat on you". "George I'd be happy to marry you if you don't mind one thing" she remarked. "What's that?" George inquired. "Having a family before we're married"she said with a smile on her face. "You're pregnant!!!"George remarked shocked. She nodded. "I have to say thank god I'm sitting down I'd be on the floor outcold"George replied and gave her a hug than they heard a splash.

We went outside and found Criss in the pool. "Going for a swim with out your bathsuit Criss"George asked. "No Sandra just told him she's pregnant"JD said. "Looks we may have a pool at the office who delivers first"Trina stated. "Wait a minute you're pregnant too"Costa said. "Yup". Mom and Aunt Stella aren't going to believe this when they find out"JD replied.

[RACHEL02189]

To surprise the grandmothers-to-be Criss invited them to Las Vegas. At the house Criss was pacing as Sandra came out. "Why are you pacing for?"she asked. "I'm a little nervous about telling my mom about the baby and that we're putting the wedding in hold untill the baby comes"Criss replied. "Why your mother will understand that I don't want to be nine months pregnant at our wedding or that I could go into labor while getting married". "My mom's old fashion". "Oh marriage before kids". "Bingo"Criss stated feeling like he's about to throw up. Sandra sat nexts to Criss and told him that she's behind him. "Thanks". That afternoon while George was picking up the ladies Trina was at the house with Sandra and Criss. "So Criss is nervous about telling his mom about the baby".

"Yea my parents were ready to jump for joy when I told them"Sandra remarked. "Marcus is thrilled to be an uncle"Trina added. "So how do you think George's mom is going to react". "Honestly this is my first time meeting her" she remarked. "So how you've been doing with the pregnancy?". "Let's see I'm nauseous twenty-four seven, the smell of onions, scrambled eggs or George's deodrant makes me run to the bath room and I spend more time in the ladies room than working with Criss" she stated. "Yea if Criss put on his aftershave I got so nauseous that I threw up all over his shoes. I'm so tired that Criss and I were ready to go out when he came in to get me I fell asleep". "You think that's bad try the mood swings the guys may want to run or get a hotel room"Trina joked. The door opened and Criss and his mom came in. "Sandra I'm home" he called out. They came out of the kithen. "Sandra how nice to see you again" as she gave Sandra a hug. "It's so good to see you Dimitra"she remarked. "Sandra have you put on a bit of weight". "Mom!"Criss said.

"Oh Trina you look wonderful I can't believe you and George are going to get married". As she hugged Dimitra the smell of Dimitra's perfume was making Trina nauseous and Criss could tell. "Trina I left my black berry in the car can you get for me"he asked. "Sure" and walked out. "She all right Trina looked like she was ready to vomit"Dimitra stated. "She's getting over a stomach bug" Sandra said smiling. "Well I'm going to freshen up" and Dimitra went to her room. When she closed the door Trina came ack in. "Thanks Criss I thought for a second I was going to throw up". "Well after having Sandra throw up on my shoes you had that same look so better to get you out than throw up on my mom"Criss replied. "I'll see you guys at dinner" and she left.

[RACHEL02189]

That night Criss and his mom were getting ready. "Christopher where's Sandra?". "She had to drop something off at Trina's so she's going to meet us there"Criss replied coming down. Before they left the answering machine went off. "Criss this is Father Stafen I wanted to know why you and Sandra decided to postpone your wedding I hope you guys haven't reconsidered getting married". Dimitra stopped as Criss stood there. "Explain Christopher" she asked. "We were going to tell you tonight about the postponement" Criss replied. "Why don't you explain to me now" she asked. "Mom everything will be explained at dinner now let go" and they left. At The Luxor George was waiting for Criss and Dimitra. "You all right George?" his mother inquired. "I'm fine" he remarked.

“Than why did Trina run off all of a sudden is she all right?”. “I think she has a stomach virus mom”he replied. “Well I hope she isn’t pregnant that would just be horrible that you’re not married and your bride to be is with child”she remarked. Where’s an emergency when I need itGeorge thought as Trina came back. “Sorry about that has Criss and Dimitra shown up?”Trina inquired. “Not yet oh wait here they come”Stella stated as Trina walked up to them. "Trina nice to see you again". "Nice to see you two can I borrow your son for a minute?". "just bering him back when you're done" she joked as we stepped out ear shot. "Where's Sandra?" she inquired “Having a hormonal fit I’ll go get her” and left as Criss walked over. “Christopher where did Trina go?”. “Went to get Sandra why don’t we go in”Criss remarked. . “Why do you ladies go in I have some business to finish with Criss" and the ladies went in.

"Now where did my wife to be go?"he inquired. “When my mother told Sandra she put on some weight her hormones went for a spin and Trina is trying to come her down enough. I thought this wasn’t going to happen untill the second trimester”Criss stated. Just than Trina and Sandra walked over. “Hey you all right”. “I’m fine let’s go in while I’m in this mood”she suggested and they went in.

[RACHEL02189]

After they all sat down they looked over their menu. "So George when do you think you and Trina will get married?"Dimitra inquired. "We haven't discussed it we're just enjoying being engaged"she replied. "Well I have a surprise for us". The bartender brought over a bottle of wine. "I've been saving this for a special occasion so when I heard that my little Georgey got engaged I decided to bring it here". The guys looked nervous as she poured the wine. "To the engagement of George and Trina and the impending marriage of Sandra and Christopher". Everyone expect Trina and Sandra took a drink. "Sandra Trina why aren't you drinking?". "Unfortunely Stella I have an allergy to alcohol I'm sorry". "It's all right dear I don't want you to get sick”she apologized. “Good lie”George whispered to Trina. “What about you Sandra why aren’t you having a drink of wine” Dimitra asked. Before they could say a word Marcus walked in. “Hey sis” he stated walking over. “Everyone this is my brother Marcus” as he shook hands with everyone.

“My Criss you didn’t say you had a sister” as Dimitra blushed. “If your brother starts dating my aunt I will kill him” George remarked. “He’s just being Marcus” she replied. “I’m sorry to interrupt your dinner but I wanted to tell Criss that the Gamblers Anonymous meeting time has been changed to eight instead of seven and may I just say that my sister is simply glowing and I can’t wait to see my nephew or niece”. With that he left leaving Trina and Criss looking for a way out. “Gamblers Anonymous Christopher don’t tell me you’re gambling again!!” Dimitra declared. “George why didn’t you tell me Trina was pregnant is this the reason you guys got engaged!!”Stella remarked. “I found out about the baby the day I proposed mom” George replied. “Christopher you promised me you wouldn’t gamble ever again”Dimitra said. “Mom I know I broke the promise but Trina caught me before it got out of control now let’s settle down and celebrate the babies that are coming into this family”Criss stated not realizing what he had just said. “Criss what do you mean babies is Trina having twins”Stella inquired.

Me and my big mouth Criss thought “Don’t tell me Sandra’s pregnant” Dimitra stated. “It’s true mom Sandra and Trina both found out on the same day that they are pregnant”Criss replied. “Excuse me I need some air” Dimitra remarked. “I’ll join you” and Stella went with her. “George I’m going to need you to bail me out of jail for what I’m about to do”Criss said getting up. “What’s that Criss?”Sandra asked. “I’m going to kill Marcus”Criss stated. "I'll join you Criss"Trina added.

[RACHEL02189]

The next afternoon Criss was sitting in his office trying to get some work done but he couldn't concentrate as last night's dinner disaster played in his head. Criss knew how old fashion his mother is but he never thought that she'd be so upset at him that she pack up and go back to New York. "You all right boss". Criss looked up and saw Trina. "How's everything with George and Aunt Stella?"he asked playing with a quarter. "A little better JD told me your mother left last night". "I can't believe she's over reactting over the wedding postponment" he remarked. "Christopher it's probably the fact you started gambling again". "That's the one thing she was afraid of when I moved out here I guess those fear became reality to her"Criss replied. "She probably thinks you're going to end up like my brother"she stated. "I wish I could of told her that you guys caught me before I ended up getting mysel beat up again by loan sharks"he remarked.

"Just give her some time you did hit her with a double whammy". "Actually your brother started it"Criss said. "Well I talked to him and he apologizedfor letting the cat out of the bag". "I'm going over to Believe if anyone's looking for me" and Criss left. As Criss left just by his body language she could Criss was depressed. After Criss did Believe he left but instead of going home he ended up at a betting saloon. Criss sat in his car as he tried calling his mother but she wasn't picking up which was making Criss unhappy. A knock to his window caught his attention. He turned and saw Marcus.

Criss got out of the car. "Hey Marcus what are you doing here?". "Looking for you Trina called looking for you. You've got Sandra hysterically she's wondering where you are"he replied. "I just was driving and before I knew it I ended up here". "Criss I know Trina told you this but I'm sorry about releaving to your mom that you were in Gambler's Anonymous"he replied. "Yea but now she's upset at me because I broke that promise that I wouldn't gamble after what happened last time"Criss remarked. "If you don't mind me asking-". "When I was starting magic my mom mortage our home to give me money but they didn't know that I owed a bookie money so I was going to use that money to pay him off but I kept having vision of my mom out on the street with a forclourse sign on our house so instead I got the living carp kicked out of me" Criss replied.

"Criss did you ever tell yor mom that story". "No". "I think you should if you didn't see those visions as you put it you'd probably be where I was a year ago" Marcus suggested. "Thanks Marcus I should get home before Sandra goes nuts" and Criss left. When Criss got home he saw Sandra on the couch asleep so Criss put a blanket on her and left her where she was as he went into his office. In New York Dimitra was watching television when the phone rang. She saw it was Christopher so she let it go to the answering machine. Criss felt upset that it went to the answering machine so he left the message telling her what Marcus thought he should say and hung up.

The next day I was working from home when George walked in. "What are you doing here I thought you were working with Criss"I replied. "Criss cancelled everything for the next couple of days"he stated. "Is everything all right with Criss and his mom". "It's Sandra she lost the baby". Poor Sandra I thought as I sat next to George. "I guess this thing with his mom isn't helping either" Trina said. "I just hate seeing my cousin so down and I just have that feeling that he may take it to the next level". I looked at George. "What you mean dieing on purpose"Trina inquired. "Forget I said it"George remarked just hugging me. "I guess our secret will have to wait for a while". "Yea our two little secrets"he replied patting Trina's stomach. Back at the house Criss was just staring out the window when the phone rang.

"Hello"he stated picking up the phone. "Hey boss I just wanted to see how you were". "I feel alone"he stated. "Criss it isn't your fault Sandra miscarried my mom lost two kids before she had me"she remarked. "I know I just so excited about being a father". "Criss do you want some company before we find you somewhere like on a slab in the morgue"she inquired. The door opened and Criss turned around. "Criss you still there?". "I'll call you back" and hung up.

Standing there was his mom. "Mom what are you doing here?". "I came to apologize to you Christopher Trina's brother came to see me and explained everything to me. I even listened to that message you left too"she remarked. "I know that you were upset with me for breaking my promise to you and postponing the wedding". She put her hands on his face. "I love you Christopher and I hope you can forgive me" she said. Criss took her hands and just gave her a hug. "Thanks mom but I have some bad news there's not going to be a baby Sandra lost the baby last night"Criss replied holding back his tears. "Oh Christopher I'm so sorry". "Just seeing you here mom is making the pain I was in float away".

A few weeks passed and Criss was back to his old self which made everyone happy. At work Trina was working with Criss. "So have you and George want to know what you're having?". "We haven't decided yet but I'm happy that the morning sickness is gone"as she rubbed my head. "You all right?". "Yea just got a bit of a headache" as Criss walked over. "Are you sure?". "Can you help me to a chair the room seems to be spinning"Trina remarked. Criss helped her to his chair. "I'm taking you to see a doctor before you end up losing that baby"Criss suggested. "All right I was just about to suggest it"she remarked. Criss helped her up and took Trina to her doctor. At the doctor they were sitting in a room while Criss was on the phone. "Yea the doctor is just running a blood test he think it's anemia but he wants to make sure all right" and hung up. "George all right with this?"she asked.

"Yea he just wants me to stay with you just incase"Criss replied. The doctor came in with the results. "Well everything looks all right it seems you anemic but not enough to cause alarm this sometimes happens with pregnancies"the doctor replied. "Well this hurt the child?"Criss asked. "The babies are the reason she's anemic but I just want to make sure the kids are all right". The doctor put the gel on and started the ultrasound. Criss looked and his jaw fell to the floor. "It looks like the twins are doing good Trina now I want you to take it easy today and take some B-12 with the other vitimans you're taking but if the headaches and the dizziness haven't stopped I'll send you to the hospital for a transfusion"the doctor stated. "Thank you doctor" and he left as Criss sat down. "Surprised Criss"she stated. "Yea twins George's mom is going to need oxgyen when she finds out"Criss replied with a bit of a smile on his face. "There's something else but I want George to be here because it's a decision we both made"she remarked. Criss helped me down and we left.

After Criss took Trina home he went back to The Luxor. As he drove his heart ached a little for the chance to be a father. When he got back JD Gerard were waiting outside talking. "What are you guys doing out here?"Criss asked as he closed his car door. "We heard about Trina is she and the baby all right"Gerard remarked. "Yea she's got amenia so I gave her the rest of the day off and told her to take care of herself and the babies she's carrying"Criss replied walking in the door. As Criss walked in he wondered if his brother heard what he said. That night after Criss finished Believe he was about to leave when George walked over. "Yo cous"he called out.

"What's up George?". "Do you mind driving me home my car died on me" George inquired. "I thought you'd be home-". Then Criss smelled something that made him want to run to the bathroom and vomit up his dinner. "What is that smell did a bird die in the vent"Criss asked. "No Trina was craving chili cheese hot dog". "You may want to rethink that because that chili is making me sick"Criss replied trying to keep his dinner in his stomach. "She wanted extra jalapenos and pickles"George replied. "George unless you want me to puke all over you get rid of them"Criss stated. "I'll put these in my cooler that I left in the production office". "Please do and I'll met you outside" and George went back outside while Criss went outside to get some air.

Great Chapter :) I'm glad Criss is more like himself , more please :)

[RACHEL02189]

A few days went by and Trina invited Criss and Sandra to their house for dinner. At Serenity Criss was combing his hair while Sandra was picking out a dress. "What do you think the black or this one". Criss looked at them and pointed to the black one. "So do you know what they want?"Sandra inquired as Criss zipped her up. "Bets me but with them it's hard to read them"Criss remarked. At the house Trina was trying to find something to wear. "Dam it nothing fits". "Trina relax you'll find something"George stated. "Yea potato sack" she muttered as George stayed clear of fire. "I'm going to check on dinner" and left the room. As George set the table the door bell rang. "Get the door George!!"Trina yelled. He opened the door and Criss and Sandra were standing there. "Come on in Trina Criss and Sandra are here". "This is your fault I can't find anything that fits me"she called out.

"Let me guess mood swings". "Like nothing else I'm ready to get a room and wait this out"George replied. "Trina I'm coming in"Sandra said. "Here you may need this" giving Sandra a chair. She put the chair down and to the bedroom. "How long has Trina been like this?"Criss inquired as George gave him a drink. "Since she gained twenty pounds in a day". Criss gringed. "If I knew pregnancy was like this I would of gotten fxed"George stated. "I should take notes just incase Sandra gets pregnant again than I know what to deal with"Criss said. "Here start taking notes"George stated giving him a paper and a pen. "Very funny"Criss replied as George chuckled.

[Smurf]

Great Chapter :) poor George :) i can't wait read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

After calming down Sandra helped Trina find something to wear. "I hope I didn't scare George away with that mood swing"she remarked. "No but you may of put Criss off on having kids"Sandra joked. "It feels so strange Sandra to not one but two human beings growing inside you,"Trina said. A tear fell down her face as Trina walked over. "I'm sorry Sandra I should of been more understanding considering"Trina stated. "It's all right I think I found something that my cover that baby bulge" as they laughed. In the living room the guys heard the laughing. "I guess Trina's feeling better"Criss remarked. Thank god George thought. When they came out of the bedroom George and Criss were outside on the balcony talking. "So have you told Aunt Stella about the twins yet?"Criss inquired. "Well I asked her to come down and I'll tell her than"George replied. "Just make sure she's sitting down or you have smelling salts at the ready" Criss added as they laughed.

"What's so funny?"Sandra inquired. "Inside joke so why did you ask me and Sandra here?" Criss asked. "Well everysince we found out about the twins we were figuring out some stuff and everytime we came back to you guys". "So what is it?"Sandra asked. "We were wondering if you'd be the godparents to the twins"George replied. "And when the time comes for when we get married I was wondering if you'd be my maid of honor Sandra"Trina added. "And will you be my best man Criss"George added. Criss and Sandra smiled and agreed. As Criss gave Trina a hug he stepped back shocked. "What Criss is something wrong?". "No one of the twins just kicked me"Criss replied. "There it is again oh my god!!"Trina remarked as George put his hand on her belly. "Oh my god this is weird feeling. You want to feel Sandra?". "No"she remarked. Criss walked over to her. "You all right?"he whispered. "Yea" as she wiped a tear away. "Come on guys let's eat before it gets cold"George said.

[RACHEL02189]

A few weeks passed and Trina went out with Sandra. "You all right Sandra you seem down,"she remarked. Sandra sat down as tears fell down her face. "Sandra come on what's wrong that you're tearing up". "I'm jealous that you and George get to have your babies and I can't" she replied. "Oh Sandra I know this is hard I could tell you really wanted a baby with Criss, but these things happen. My mom had two miscarriages before I came around beside this isn't my first pregnancy I've had a miscarriage too"Trina admitted. "What do you mean?". "When I was married the first time I got pregnant but on the day I was going to tell the father I miscarried. It's hard to lose a child but considering how the marriage ended I'm sort of glad I lost the child so don't worry you and Criss will have a baby" and gave her a hug.

"Thanks Trina"Sandra remarked. "What are friends for now let's go get something to eat" and they left. When Trina came back Criss was working on something. "Hey Criss"she stated. "Hey Trina how was lunch with Sandra?". "Good she told me she's jealous that I'm pregnant and she's not". "Yea I could tell that when you told us that you wanted us to be the god parents so tomorrow I'm taking her away just to clear her mind"Criss stated. "That's good". "So have you guys find out what you're having"Criss asked sitting back. "Not yet I'm think there's a girl in here ". "Why do you think that?"Criss wondered. "Because everytime I look at girl's stuff one of them starts to kick" she replied as Criss smiled. Then George came in with his mom. "Christopher how nice to see you" giving him a kiss. "Hey Aunt Stella how was the trip?". "Uneventful Trina wow have you grown out you must be having a big baby" she said. "Mom that's one of the reason I flew you out here". "Well before you say I was thinking that you and Trina should get married before that baby comes out and by the way you look it could be soon" she stated. "Mom let's go outside and talk about this" and they went outside.. As they talked Criss noticed something was wrong with Trina. "Trina you all right?"Criss inquired walking over. "I think I'm having contractions"she replied. "Hold on" and Criss went outside. "George" Criss called out. "What Christopher we're talking". "Just wanted to tell you that Trina's having contractions". George ran back in as Stella followed. George walked in and saw a bit of fear in her eyes. "Come on let's go to the hospital before those kids come too early" George suggested. George helped her up and they left. "I knew that kids was ready to come"Aunt stella said. "Aunt Stella she is six months long but with twins"Criss stated. "Twins!!!".

[Smurf]

great chapter, i hope Trina and the babies will be ok , can't wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

At Serenity Sandra was thinking when Criss walked in. "Christopher what are you doing here I thought you were having dinner with your aunt and George and Trina"she remarked getting up. "Plans changed Trina started to have contractions so George took her to the hospital". "Is she all right?". "Don't know yet I left a message on George's phone to call me with information but I want to know if you're all right considering"Criss said. "I'm jealous for Trina and George they're having a baby and we came close". "Sandra I know that you want to be a mom I wouldn't mind being a father but these things happen but when the time comes we'll have a baby just don't let get you down all right". She gave Criss a hug. "Thanks".

Criss's phone went off and saw it was George. "Hello George how's it going. That's good all right" and hung up. "How is she?". "Good she was having Braxton-Hicks contractions thank god"Criss stated. "Is she going to be all right?". "The doctor wants her to take it easy so Trina's going on maternity leave from Mindfreak"Criss replied. "Maybe before we leave I'll go see her". Criss ran his hand through Sandra's hair and whispered something in her ear. She and Criss got up and went to the bedroom. At the apartment George and his mother were talking. "I can't believe you and Trina are having twins". "Believe me mom I almost passed out when she told me even Criss was shocked when he saw them on the ultrasound"George remarked. "What do you mean by that?". "Hey guys"Trina stated walking over. "Trina what are you doing out of bed youshouldn't be walking around considering what happened today"Stella said. "Well I was having a hard time getting comfortable when you got one baby on your bladder using it as a trampoline and another one kicking you in the ribs every ten minutes"she replied.

"Well I'm happy for you baby and for you Trina". "Thanks mom" giving her a hug. Trina mumbled under her breath while she rubbed her side. "Kid kicking you again"Stella remarked. "Yea ten minutes goes by fast" as they laughed. "Come on go sit down maybe the kid will tucker out"George stated.

Great Chaper :) i hope George can handle what going to happen next , can't wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

Before Criss and Sandra left for the airport they went to visit Trina. At the house Trina was relaxing on the couch while Aunt Stella and George were talking in another room when a knock came to the door. Trina was about to get up when George walked in. "Sit back down Trina and put your feet up" George stated. He opened the door and Criss and Sandra were there. "Hey George" Sandra remarked. "Hey guys come on in" and they did. "Hey guys I thought you'd be in the air by now"Trina replied getting up. "We just wanted to see how you were after last night"Criss said. "I'm better George and his mother have been babying me since I got up"Trina remarked. "George I just talked to your father and he'll have the crib-oh Christopher Sandra how are you" giving them hugs.

"We just wanted to stop by and see how Trina is"Criss remarked. "Criss can I borrow Sandra for a minute I need her opinion on something"Trina asked. "Sure" and they went to the bedroom while Criss sat down. As Trina shut the door she felt ready to scream. "I can't take much more of this"she replied sitting down. "What's wrong?"Sandra asked sitting next to her. "George's mom is driving me nuts she took over decorating the nursery for the babies, she keep hinting that George and I should get married before the babies make their debut also she wants to name one of the babies if it's a boy Horton" Trina remarked. "Has George said anything to his mother about this?"she asked "I think George just wants to make his mom happy but this is special to me they're my children that's I'm carrying and will deliver in a few months" she replied look at her pregnant belly.

"Just relax Trina before you have those kids right here right now," Sandra stated . "You know what let me talk to George maybe I can get his head on straight". "Thanks" wiping the tears away. Sandra came out as George walked over. "Where's Trina?". "George she's miserable right now". "Well I can understand carrying two kids around-". "No George your mother is making her miserable. Your mother is taking over stuff and leaving the mother out of it. George you have to tell your mother to back off a little let Trina help out with the decorating of the nursery or what to name those babies". "I'll talk to her"George remarked. When they came back Criss was gone. "Where's Criss?". "Bathroom so George where's Trina?"Aunt Stella said. "She needed some time to herself she's feeling miserable mom"George stated.

"Well maybe if you used a condom she wouldn't be so miserable". "Aunt Stella that's not nice to say"Criss replied walkingover. "I just think that they should of waited now those kids will be born out of wedlock"she remarked. "Mom who cares I'll love April and Chole no matter what". "Wait a minute Trina's having girl twins"Sandra replied shocked. "Yea Trina wanted to keep it a secret but I think I just blew it"George stated blushing. "You're going to name your daughter after a month George why not after your grandmother or me". "Mom we're naming one of the twins after Trina's mother it's what she want since she's the mother of my children"George remarked. When Trina came out she looked nervous.

"Trina what's the matter you look scared"Sandra stated. Criss looked at her leg and saw a trickle of blood. "She's bleeding George she needs a hospital like now!" Criss replied. "I'll get the car" and George ran down the stairs. "I'm scared Criss"she said. "Don't worry Trina come on" and they all left.

[Smurf]

Great Chapter :) i hope Trina and the babies will be ok , can't wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

At the hospital George was pacing back and forth as everyone just waited for information on Trina and the girls. "I hope they don't have to deliver the babies" Sandra worried. "Me too Sandra"George said as Criss walked over. "I called Marcus he's coming down to the hospital"Criss stated sitting down. "Criss you and Sandra don't have to stay"Aunt Stella said. "Aunt Stella we want to Trina is our friend and beside if it wasn't for Trina we would of met"Sandra remarked. "I want to make sure our god children are all right too"Criss added. "You made Criss and Sandra the babies' god parents!"Aunt Stella said in shock. "Mom don't start Trina and I talked about it and we decided that Criss and Sandra would be the god parents"George remarked. Criss could see George was ready to explode on his mother. "Come on George let's get some fresh air Sandra I have my phone if some information becomes availible"Criss sstated taking his cousin outside.

When they got outside George sat down as tears fell down his face. "Thanks Criss I can't believe the way my mom is actting I don't know what to do with her". "George I know this may sound cold but if she's brothering you and Trina this much tell her to knock it off and let you and Trina make the decision when it comes to your life with Trina and the girls. If she can't handle it send her back to New York untill the Chole and April are born"Criss suggested. A car pulled up and Marcus got out. "Thanks Pete for the ride. Criss George how's Trina and the babies". "Don't know anything yet the doctor's checking her out"Criss replied. "This hasn't been an easy pregnancy for Trinia"Marcus stated. "My mom isn't making it any easier on her considering"George added. Criss's phone went off and saw it was a text from Sandra. "Good news the babies are fine". "Thank god"George stated. "Bad news is she's on strict bed rest for the duration of her pregnancy". "Trinia isn't going to like that she's hard to keep her still for five minutes when she was a baby"Marcus replied.

"Well she has no choice it's either bed rest or delivery of preemie twins"George said. When the guys came back in Sandra was there. "Where's my mom?". "She wanted to see Trina"Sandra replied. George went to the room as the guys sat down. In her room Trina was arguing with George's mother as the nurse got her out of there. "Ungretful :mad:". "Mom what are you doing?" George asked. "I was just talkintg to Trina and she just went postal on me". "Mom you're stressing her and it isn't good for her or the babies so do you mind just going home for now"George asked. "George you need help you can't do this on your own".

"Mom I'll find a way now please just go back to the apartment, get your stuff and go home". His mother left as Marcus walked over. "I'm sorry but I couldn't help overhearing what your mother said George if you need help with anything I'll help". "Thanks Marcus why don't you go in and see Trina while I talk to Criss before he leaves". In the room Trina was relaxing as Marcus came in. "The kids aren't even here yet and they're all ready giving you trouble,"he joked as Trina smiled. "I talked to George and told him if he needed any help I'll help out in any way". "Really". "Come on you're my sister consider it pay back for the way I treated you when I gambled"he replied. "Son of gun"Trina said. "Should I get a nurse?". "No it's Chole she's been kicking me in the ribs since last night"she replied. "Now we know which twin is going to be the trouble maker,"Marcus stated. Trina took her brother's hand and put it on her stomach. "Wow she's a kicker". "And April let me know she's in there too" moving his hand down to the left of her belly button. George just watched from the door way and smiled.

[RACHEL02189]

After George's mom left Trina felt great but hated being on strict bed rest. Everytime she want to get and help George reminded her she had to stay or deliver the twins early. That afternoon George was looking over the room that they choose to use as the nursery. "My mother has no sense of color choices," as he loked at the color that was half painted on the wall. "Sea kelp green more like puce green" he said to himself. A knock came to the door so George got it and at the door was Criss and his brothers. "Thanks for coming guys I coulod use the help". "No problem cousin". "What's the problem?"Criss inquired as they came in. "Well I have to repaint the nrsery it looks like someone threw up on the walls, I have to put together two cribs and get it together before Chole and April make their appearences"George replied. "By the way those kids are they may break Criss's record of being born early"JD said as Criss rolled his eyes.

Costa went into the room and came back out. "How bad?"JD asked. "Let's just say Aunt Stella is color blind" as Criss and JD went in. "Oh my god this is sick who in their right mind would paint a room this color"JD stated. "Mom would kill Aunt Stella or have her eyes checked for that matter"Criss added. "Where are the cribs?". They went into a another room and JD saw one of thecribs was in it package. "Where's the other one?". "Unfortunely my dad doesn't know how to pack and ship. The railings were cracked, half the nuts and bolts are missing and the mattress was too big for the crib to begin with"George replied. "JD do you still have Dimi's crib?"Costa asked. "Sold it years ago"JD replied. "Hey guys"Trina said. "Trina what do you not get with the phrase strict bed rest"George asked. "Relax I had to use the bathroom Aprill is jumping on it again" rubbing her back.

"Did Chole move to your back?"Criss asked. "It feels like it" as she went back to bed. Then Costa saw JD's face. "What's wrong JD having flashbacks of Dimi's birth?". "No when labor started one of Lynn's sympotoms was a sore back"JD replied. "Well consider she's put on almost forty-five pounds and has two kids in her stomach anybody would have a sore back"George stated. "Just keep your eye on her". "JD go grab the tool box from the car and pray to god that there's instruction manual on how to put thecrib together. George do you have another color picked out". "I need to get it from the paint store" George replied. "All right Costa go with him" and the guys left as Criss went in to see Trina who was reading. "Hey"he said coming in. "Hey Criss where's the rest of the guys". "JD went to get the tool box to put thecribs together and Costa and George went to get the new color for the bed room"he replied sitting next to me. "Thank god every time I went in there I felt like throwing up"she said. "I may send a picture of the color to tell my mom about it even I felt like vomiting" Criss remarked.

"Speaking of your mother she sent me a package it's on the chair over there". Criss got up and saw the box on the chair. He opened it and smiled as he took out a quilt. "Mom is a whiz with the sewing machine I'm surprise she doesn't have carpal tunnel when she makes these"Criss replied. "She also sent a teddy bear and-". Criss turned to her. "You all right?". "It's nothing just some Fake contractions the doctor said I'd be getting them" she replied. "How spaced out are these?"Criss inquired. "Every twenty-five minutes sometimes less" she replied. "Hey Criss you coming to help me?"JD asked coming in. "I think we maybe making another trip"Criss stated. "What do you mean?"she asked. "I think you're in labor Trina". "No way Criss it's too soon my doctor said I had another three weeks". "I don't think so Trina look down". She looked down and saw a little puddle on the floor.

[RACHEL02189]

At the hospital Criss stayed with Trina as JD tried to get a hold of Costa or George. "Criss I'm scared what if George doesn't get here on time" Trina said. "Trina relax George wouldn't miss this for anything maybe a ten round fight with Mike Tyson". Trina smiled as JD came in. "Costa doesn't have his phone on and George isn't answering his those idiots"JD replied. "Did you leave-". Trina grabbed Criss's hand. Criss felt like his hand was in a vice grip as Trina squeezed. After she let go Criss sat down ready to swear a blue streak. "You all right Criss?"JD asked. "Yea just trying to get the blood to circulate back into my fingers"Criss replied. "Lynn came close to break my hand when Dimi was born. I told her to get the drugs before I ended up having surgery to have metal rods put into my fingers"JD stated. "I'm never doing this again" Trina vowed.

"That's what they all say Trina"JD stated. "Where is George?"She said over and over again. Like magic Criss's phone rang. "Hello George where are you your daughter's are coming we're at-are you kidding me seriously am I being punkd all right" and hung up. "What's going on?"JD asked. "George is jail with Costa". "WHAT!!" they all said. "It's a long story". "Criss you have to bail him out I don't him to miss the birth of the girls"Trina stated. "They won't be arrianged for another three hours". Tears stated to fall down Trina's face. "Let me make a call to a friend of mine you stay with Trina"JD said and left the room. At jail George was pacing as Costa sat there. "I can't believe this my kids are coming and I'm stuck in jail because you started a fight over a parking ticket". "Hey that meter maid started it trying to get two tickets for Believe out of me what a bunch of horse carp"Costa stated. The cell door opened and JD walked in.

"JD please tell me they dropped the charges and you're coming to get us out of this place"George inquired. "Well the charges against George are dropped but the ones against Costa are pending"JD replied."What the :mad: that meter maid said that if I gave her two tickets to Believe she'd forget about the ticket" Costa remarked. "It's her word against yours Costa come on George". George got his stuff and they ran out as Costa sat there. At the hospital Criss was calling JD. On the road JD's phone went off. "Were on our way Criss". "JD I don't think you guys are going to make it they're preparing her for a c-section"he replied. "Why?"George inquired. "Her blood pressure is climbing they're afraid she's heading for preclampsia they have to get the twins out before she has a seizure or worse a stoke"Criss remarked. "We'll do our best but Criss promise me you'll be there for Trina". Criss felt like he was going to be sick. "Please Criss". "Just get here"Criss replied and hung up.

After getting off the phone Criss had a weird urge to run for his live. "Christopher"A voice called out. He turned and saw Sandra coming over. "Sandra what are you doing here?" he stated. "I got a call from Trina telling me she 's in labor where's George?". "Coming here with JD after being in jail". "Jail why was he in jail for?" she inquired. "Long story but I've got a problem that I need you for". "What's that?". "Trina has to have a c-section and George wants me to go in but for some reason I feel like running for my life". "Don't worry Christopher I'll go in". Criss gave her a hug. As Criss watched Sandra get ready the nurse came over to Criss and gave him an outfit to put on as well. "Here you go dad"she replied. "But I'm not-". The nurse left before Criss could finish the sentence Now Criss felt guilty knowing that his cousin asked him to go in for him kind of like being a designated hitter in baseball. In the OR Trina was scared and wished George was there. Tears started to fall down her face but she felt someone wipe the tears away.

She looked up and saw Sandra and Criss. "Sandra Criss what are you guys doing here in here". "Do you really think you'd go through this alone Trina" Sandra replied through the mask. "Thank you guys now I know why I chose you guys to be the god parents"she stated. The nurse went over to Criss and sat him down next to Trina. "Just sit right here dad"the nurse remarked. Trina chuckled. When George and JD finally showed up Criss was coming out pulling off the mask. "Criss how are the babies are they here?". "Congraultion cousin your daughters are healthy and screamed their tiny little lungs out as they came into this world"Criss replied. "How's Trina". "Relaxing Sandra's with her"Criss stated. "What's Sandra doing here?".

"Why don't you go see your kids man" Criss stated and George ran off as JD came over. "Did you call Sandra to pitch hit for you?"JD asked. "No but she was going to untill a nurse thought I was the daddy than I started to feel guilty so both Sandra and I went in. I got to say I have never felt so naucious in my life" Criss said as JD chuckled.

When Criss came back from the hospital he decided to call his mother to tell her what happened. At her house Dimitra was cleaning up when the phone rang. "Hello" she remarked. "Hey mom how are you?". "Good just cleaning up the house had some of my friends over for tea. So what's with the call out of nowhere"she asked. "What a son can't call his mother"Criss stated. "I know you Christopher you have something to tell me". Criss chuckled. "Yes I do have some news Trina had the twins today I'm a god father"Criss replied. "What she have two boys or a girl and a boy?". "You're half right mom she has twin daughter doctor say they maybe identical". "George will have a field day with that" as Criss chuckled. "That's wonderful so how is Sandra doing?". "Good she and I saw the twins born". "Where was George through this don't tell me he fainted?". "No it's a long story mom which involves Costa which reminds me I may have to bail him out of jail"Criss replied.

After Criss finished talking to his mother JD came in. "Did you talk to Costa?". "Yea he got released ROR but he came very close to getting compent of court"JD replied. "Costa sometimes doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut"Criss stated. "Where's Sandra?". "Back at the hospital I swear when those babies were born I saw a tear run down her face"Criss remarked. "Do you think you and Sandra may try again?". "Probably after we're married"Criss replied. "All right I'm going to home talk to you later" and left. After JD left Criss looked out and just starred at the stars as they shined.

When it finally came time to go home Trina was still sore from the c-section. To make it worse the doctor didn't want her to lift anything heavy for a few days which included the car seats when one of the kids were in it. "George how are we going to do this?"she asked. "Trina don't worry we'll figure it out now just relax and I'll see you in a few minutes" and George hung up. When George came out his jaw fell to the floor he had a boot on his car which surprised him considering he's never been pulled over or gotten a ticket since he's had his license. At the Luxor Criss was wasting some time by doing a crossword puzzle when the phone rang. "Hello". "Criss thank god you answered I need your help". "Slow down George what's wrong?". "I was on my way to pick up Trina and the kids at the hospital but for some reason I have a boot on my car"George remarked.

"A boot are you serious?". "I am but I don't get how this happened I've never had a ticket in my life"he replied. "Did you lend your car out to anyone?". "Just my mom and-". A light bulb went on over George's head as the culprit came to mind. "Criss do you think Aunt Dimitra wouldn't mind if I kill Costa"he asked. "Before you plan out this perfect murder why do you need me". "I need to go down to the RMV and find out how much money I have to pay before they tow my car so I was wondering if you could pick up Trina from the hospital"he inquired. "What about her brother why can't he do it?" Criss inquired. "He's in Reno picking up some parts for a car please cous". "All right I'll even see if Sandra wants to come and when you find out how much you have to pay to get that boot off call me and I'll take it out of Costa's pay"Criss stated. At the hospital I was waiting for George than Sandra came in.

"Sandra what are you doing here you come with George for the ride" Trina asked. "Not exactally" as Criss walked in. "Ready to bring these girls home?". "Christopher where's George is he all right?". "It seems my brother forgot to tell George he had racked up some tickets on his car so because of George got booted so he has to go down to get this all straighten out before he has pay a lot more or worse stand trail for killing Costa"Criss replied as Trina giggled.

When George finally got home he saw Criss and Sandra holding the twins. "Hey guys"George remarked. "Hey George"Sandra stated getting up. "Where's Trina?". "In the bedroom asleep the doctor told her to take it easy for a few days so we decided to help out untill you came home"Criss replied as April spit up on him. Sandra and George chuckled as Criss put April in the crib. "I'm going to check on Trina" and George went into the bedroom where Trina was asleep. George smiled as he just pulled up the blanket and gave her a kiss. When George came back in Criss was coming out of the bathroom wiping the vomit off his shirt.

"Thanks for staying guys". "No problem cous"Criss remarked. "George do you want me to stay with you just incase Chole and April decide to gang up on you?"Sandra suggested. "No I got to learn how to do this for when Trina goes back to work"George replied. "What you becoming a stay at home dad"Criss joked. "I'm thinking of it"George replied. Criss's eyes almost bugged out. "Wait a minute you're quiting Mind freak". "I haven't decided yet that's why I'm taking some time off to think about it"George said. "Come on Criss before you're late for Believe"Sandra remarked. "I'll give you a call Sandra if I need help"George called out as they left. The next day Criss was thinking in his office as Costa came in.

[RACHEL02189]

"Hey Criss I just talked to Mastero he said you weren't there mentally that is doing Believe"Costa remarked. "Just had something on my mind I couldn't shake"Criss replied. "What's that?". "George is thinking of quiting Mind freak to be a stay at home dad"Criss remarked. "What's wrong with that mom did it with us when we were babies"Costa said. "I know but George is been with me since I started this it just feel strange that George may leave"Criss replied. "Don't worry we'll cross that bridge when we have to". The door opened and Marcus came in. "Hey guys". "Marcus what arte you doing here?"Criss inquired. "JD called me last night he said that your Lambo has an oil leak so I came to take it to the garage"Marshall remarked. "Seriously JD never told me this. Criss got up and went out to the cars that were out side.

He went over to the Lambo and looked underneath. "JD must of been mistaken the Lmabo isn't leaking oil"Criss stated as he dusted the dust off his knees of his pants. "I think I found the leak"Costa called out. They walked over to the Rollas and saw a big puddle underneath. "It's the transmission Christopher that's leaking". Marcus went under the car to see where the leak was. "It looks like the line got a hole in it. I have to Craig I need a flat bad tow"Marshall stated and called his boss.

Back at the house Trine had woken up to silence which threw her so she got up and saw George rocking both the babies with his feet while they were in their carriers. Trina giggled a little as she walked over. "This is cute" she stated. "You've got to get creative sometimes. Now I need to stop and use the bathroom before I need a diaper change,"George joked. He stopped and saw both of the babies were knocked out. Thank god. He got up slowly and went to the bathroom as Trina got up to get a sandwich. Back at Serenity Criss was still thinking of not having George around. A knock came ot the door and JD came in. "Hey Criss what's up?" he asked. "Just in another world as they say"he replied as they sat down. "Why?"JD asked. "George told me yesterday that he's thinking of leaving Mind Freak to become a stay at home dad"Criss remarked. "You make it sound like he's quiting that probably taking a leave of absent" JD remarked.

"I know but George has been with me since the beginning and I thought he's be with me to the end"Criss stated. "Criss you're making a big deal out of nothing he said he's thinking of it doesn't mean he's leaving right now". "I guess"Criss remarked. "Here's something to make you feel better mom heard about what you did for George and Trina so she's coming down to give George and Trina some help too". "It's better than George's mom I surpose"Criss stated. The next day George and Trina were feeding the babies when a knock came ot the door. George got up and opened the door to see Dimitra and Lynn. "Ladies what are you doing here?"he asked giving them kisses. "We were in the neighborhood and just had to see those sweet babies. May I"Lynn said.

Geogre gave her the baby as they came in. "Hey Lynn Dimitra"Trina stated. "How are you sweetie" she asked giving Trina a kiss. "Still a little sore here Dimitra why don't you hold April". "Wait a minute I thought I had April"George remarked. "No you had Chole George remember her crib is on the right of the room" Trina said. "Oh yea" George said as they sat down. "Christopher told me you ad George made Sandra and him god parents to these lovely angels"Dimitra replied. "Yea everytime we talked about it Criss and Sandra kept coming up so we decided to make them the god parents"George remarked. "Well these two are just beautiful children considering all the trouble they caused before they even came into the world"Lynn stated. "Well I'm just happy they're here and all right". As Trina got up a stabbing pain hit her. "You all right?"Lynn asked getting up. "I just got a stabbing pain all of a suddent".

"Let me take look at your incision". Lynn helped Trina into the bed room and shut the door. "I hope everything is all right"George said. At Serenity Criss decided to go out with Sandra for the night to clear his head. Criss waited downstairs for Sandra when she came down she didn't look happy. "What's wrong Sandra you don't look happy?"Criss asked. "I got a call from George a few minutes ago Trina's back in the hospital it seems the incision got infected she's got a fever of 102 and climbing". "Oh my god do you want to go see her"Criss asked. "George said that they have her on a high dose of antiboditic so the only thing we have to do is wait untill the fever breaks or the infection clears"Sandra stated as tears fell down her face. Criss gave her hug and told her everything would be all right

At the hospital Trina was relaxing with an IV in her arm. She hated being back in the hospital she wanted to bond with her twins instead. The door opened and Sandra came in. "Sandra what are you doing here?"she asked giving her a hug. "I was so worried about you that Criss brought me here" pulling over a chair. "I want to be back home with my twins I miss them and George is probably reconsidering being a stay at home father" as Sandra smiled. "Don't worry Criss called his mom and she's helping George untill you come back" she remarked. "They should give Criss saint hood"Trina replied. "Saint Sarantokas has a cute ring". In the cafe Criss was getting drink when his phone rang. "Hello" he said sitting down. "Criss it's Marcus I just got a call from George about Trina". "Marcus take a breath it's just an infection from the c section they have her on antibodics"Criss replied.

"Good I swear I thought the worest when I heard she was back in the hospital". "Who wouldn't say while I have you on the phone I would like to ask you something?". "What's that Criss?" he asked. "Well I was wondering if you'd like to be in my wedding one of my ushers had to drop out". "Really Criss well yes I'd be honored"Marcus stated. "I'll send you the information on some stuff I'll gvie Trina your love" and hung up.

Four months passed and Trina was back at work while George stayed home. "I can't believe George decided to stay home with the kids instead of working here"Criss stated. "Criss he took a leave of abscene he wanted to try it out and if he doesn't like it he has a job to come back to"Trina replied. The door opened and Marcus came in. "So you ready for the bacholar party Christopher?" Marcus inquired. "I don't know about this the last time I had one I had a massive hangover the next day I've never felt that sick in my life"Criss replied. "If you don't include when you got sick when you did CSI New York"Trina reminded him. "Don't remind me I still have nightmares of that"Criss stated. "Before you go here" as Trina threw Criss some keys. "What are these to?". "CC but if I find any dings or scratches you'll be having your wedding in the ICU"she remarked. "Come on Criss before she changes her mind" and the guys went outside to find CC waiting for them but she got a new paint job.

"Midnight black with white pin strip I may have to keep this keys near me when JD sees this"Criss replied. Marcus found a note and gave it to Criss. I thought you'd be a little embrassed to be driving around in a cotton candy pink car so I ask count to put a temporary paint on it have fun Trina. "That's my sister for you"Marcus remarked as JD, George, and Costa showed up. "Wow Criss what did you do find another verison of CC" George stated. "No this is Trina's CC". "She put a temp color on it so we wouldn't be embrassed come on". All the guys got in and drove off.

While the guys were having fun Sandra and Trina were at Serenity. "I can't believe you didn't want a bachelorette party". "I never liked them girls actting nuts no thanks beside this is kind of fun just you and me watching movies in that theater while Criss and his groomsmen go crazy". "I even let them CC so I'm praying nothing happens to her"she stated. The microwave went off and Sandra went into the kitchen. "Popcorn's ready come on" and they went upstairs. Back on the strip the guys were having fun at a strip club but Criss didn't like these things he thought they were nasty and innaprotiate so Criss went outside where Marcus was too. "What are you doing out here Criss I thought you'd have girls all over you"Marcus stated.

"I really don't like strip clubs and what's your reason?'. "Same so you ready for another walk down the aisle". "I'm just hoping I don't get cold feet or worse Sandra does"Criss remarked smiling. "Criss you and Sandra were made for eachother well that's what my sister sayes". "Marcus I've told this to Trina like a thousand times but she's the best associate I've ever work with"Criss stated. "She loves working for you too". "Well well what do we have here".

Marcus and Criss turned and saw Ernie and one of his associates. "Erine I'm surprise you're still alive consider you and your associate tried to scam some money for yourself from Victor"Criss replied. "Well we're here to collect a little pay back and take this car too"Ernie remarked. Marcus got out of the car. "No way this is my sister's car nobody is taking this car from me or Christopher!!"Marcus stated. Ernie whistled and a couple of guys showed up with a bat, chain and one of them had brass knuckles. "So where's your back up now Mindfreak"Ernie's associate said laughing. The door to the strip club opened and a couple of guys that looked like they could play linemen for New York Giants came out.

"Hey what's going on out here!!". "They're trying to steal our car"Marcus called out. "Mind your business :mad: this is between me and these two" Ernie replied. One of the guys went back into the club while the other guy went to his car and took out a baseball bat. "Where did the other :mad: go too scared to fight" as they started to laugh. All of a sudden the door opened and a lot of guys came out looking ready for a fight. "Let's see I count eleven to six so who do you think will win now". Ernie and his thugs left quietly as Marcus and Criss took a deep breath of relief. "Hey thanks again I thought for sure we were going to end up in the hospital"Marcus replied shaking their hands. "No problem wait a minute I know you you're Criss Angel". "We saw your show last night it was off the hook!!". "It's nice to know guys like you enjoyed my show"Criss remarked. "When we get home we're going to have to tell Jon that we met and saved Criss Angel".

"Wait a minute you mean Jon Bon Jovi the singer"Marcus stated. "Yea". "Now I know why you guys look fimilar you're arena football players for the Philadelphia Soul the team JOn Bon Jovie owns"Marcus replied. "Yea we're celebrating Donovan's and Adam's birthday here well we have to get going see yea". "Hey guys for saving my bacon and my friends tomorrow come back to The Luxor and you'll see the show again on me"Criss offered. "You got it Mindfreak". They all shook hands and left as JD, Costa, and George came out. "Did we miss something?"George inquired. "Long story come on I know a great place that serves a great pizza like it's from Italy"Marcus suggested. They all got into the car and left.

At Serenity Sandra showed Trina her wedding dress which looked awesome. "Oh my god you may send Cris into cradic arrest with that dress" Trina stated. "It isn't too much". "No you look awesome I hope I look that good when I marry George"Trina remarked. "Have you finally gotten along with his mother". "Let's just say we should sign up for that show on A&E MONSTER IN LAW I don't understand why she doesn't like me" she replied sitting down. "Don't worry Trina I had a hard time getting to know Criss's mom but she let me in how I don't know". Trina giggled. "Can you keep a secret Sandra?". "You know me if Criss can trust me with his magic secret I think I can keep yours"she remarked.

"George and I have been thinking of just going to one of the chapels on the strip and get married". "Seriously don't you want a wedding like any bride to be wants"Sandra inquired. "Someday but with the twins by the time we get there the twins maybe in high school"Trina said making Sandra giggle. "Does George's mother know?". Trina shrugged her shoulder. "Well just tell us when and what chapel and me and Criss will be there" giving her a hug. At a gas station while Marcus put gas in the car Criss and George walked around to get the blood flowing back into their legs. "So you ready for the wedding?"George inquired. "Yea I'm nervous as hell but who doesn't get nervous when they get married how's your mother and Trina getting along"Criss remarked.

"Not good it's awful mom still thinks Trina tricked me into proposing to her because she got pregnant and that the kids aren't mine". "That's taking it to a new level"Criss stated. "I'm greatly considering not inviting my mom to the wedding if there is one"George remarked sitting on a beach. "Don't tell me you're letting what your mother is saying get into that brain of yours. Those kids are yours no matter what Aunt Stella sayes"Criss said. "Maybe me and Trina should go to plan B". Criss sat down next to George. "What's plan B?". "Elope to avoid the madness before I pull out my hair and Trina loses her mind"Geprge replied. "And where would you elope to Mexico?". "Maybe for the honeymoond but we were think of one of the chapels on the strip"George suggested. "It's your choice cous believe me they were times where I was ready for plan B myself"Criss said as George tried not to laugh.

The next day everyone who was invited to Criss's and Sandra's wedding were flying in. Criss was thrilled that Felix's wedding gift was putting up their family which made Criss and Sandra happy but not for Trina and George because Aunt Stella decided to stay with George and Trina. At Serenity Criss was talking with his mother while Sandra was out with her mother. "You should of seen the color mom pruce green looking at it reminded of the Exorcist where the girl was spuing pea soup that's what the room was like it made me want to throw up"Criss remarked as Dimitra giggled. "Your Aunt Stella really didn't have any sense of color your uncle picked out most of the colors in their house"she said. Criss sighed as he got up to get a drink.

"Something wrong Christopher?". "It's just Trina and George eversince Trina got pregnant Aunt Stella is riding Trina even after Chole and April were born she keeps brow beeting Trina if she keeps it up Trina may leave George or George may cut his mother out of his life"Criss replied. "You have to understand Christopher George is the only boy in her family". "I know that mom but it seems like she doesn't want George to be happy and he is with Trina"Criss stated. A knock came to the door so Criss went to get it. At the door was George. "George what are you doing here?". "Trina and my mom got in it again and Trina left I can't find her". "What about the twins?"Dimitra inquired. "She took them with her she said that she didn't think it was good to have the twins or herself in the apartment while my mom's in town". "Oh my". "That's not the worest of it my mom actted like she won the lottery saying the mean old witch was dead"he stated.

Dimitra couldn't believe this. "I'm going to give Marcus a call and see if Trina went to see him"Criss said as George came in. Dimitra on the other hand grabbed her purse. "Mom where are you going?"Criss asked. "To talk to Stella do you mind if I borrow your car George?". "No problem Aunt Dimitra" and she left. When Sandra came back she saw George sitting outside with Criss. Criss saw her and walked in. "Criss what's George doing here did he and Trina have a fight?". "Aunt Stella got into it with Trina to the point where she took the twins and left. George has no cle where they are"Criss replied. "Did you call her?". "Goes straight to voice mail Sandra he's worried sick do you think you know where she is?". "I'm not sure I sold my apartment the day I moved in here" Sandra stated. "I'll give her brother another try". As Criss called her brother Sandra called her. "Hey Sandra". "Trina thank god you're all right you have Goerge worried sick about you and the kids"she said.

"Sandra I don't think I can marry George with his mother actting the way she is" Trina remarked. "Trina don't worry about his mom she'll come around". "I don't think she will". As Trina and Sandra talked Criss walked over. "Trina just come to Serenity and talk to George before you do anything that you're going to regret"Sandra inquired. BUS 23 NOW LEAVING AT GATE 26 NON STOP TO FRENSO. "Tell George I'll write him" and hung up. "Sandra did youget a hold of Sandra?". "That was her she's at a bus depo". "Well let's go get her before she leave Neveda with the girls".

Everyone packed into Criss's rollis and they left. At the bus depo Trina was sitting at a table with her twins who were asleep. She sighed looking at the girls wondering if she was making the wrong decision. "Trina"A voice called out. Trina turned around and saw Marcus. "Marcus how did you know I was here?" she inquired as Marcus sat down. "Lucky guess for some reason you always liked hanging around bus depos now what's going on I got Criss burning up my phone wondering where you are"Marcus stated. "It's George's mom she's driving me crazy and I can't take it it like she trying to push me out of George's life" she remarked. Marcus saw the tears falling from his sister's face.

"It's all right Trina you and George were meant to be together no matter what his mother has to say". "I wish she saw it that way Marcus I'm ready to just forget about marrying George"Trina remarked as Chole started to wimper. "I think someone's waking up"Marcus stated. "And needs a change do you mind just watching April while I change Chole". "No problem" and Trina took Chole. When Criss, Sandra, and George arrived Criss decided to stay in the car for fear he may start a roit. Sandra and George went in and went looking around. "You check left I'll go right"George suggested. "All right" and they split. At the table Marcus was making faces at April which was making her laugh when George saw him. "Marcus!"he called out. "George what are you doing here?" as George came over.

"I came to find Trina where is she anyway?" as George sat down. "Chole needed a change listen George you got to talk to your mother she's turning into a monster and Trina is thinking of not marrying you"Marcus replied. "I know I got to sit down with her and talk to her about this. I don't want to lose Trina or my girls" as George was looking at April. When Trina came back she was surprise to see George sitting there instead of her brother.

[RACHEL02189]

"George what are you doing here?"she asked shock to see him. "I was worried sick about you and the girls". Trina sat down as George put Chole on the table. "Tonight I'm going to sit my mom down and tell her to lay off you don't deserve this Trina and she has to see that I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" "Seriously George"Trina remarked. George went over to her and kissed her which made Trina smile. The phone rang and George saw it was Sandra. "Hey Sandra yea I found her we'll be right out" and hung up. When they came out Criss was waiting with Sandra. "Let me take one of these kids"Criss offered. "Thanks Criss" as he put them in the car.

When they got back to the house Dimitra was there reading the paper. "Dimitra nice to see you again"Trina remarked. "Oh my god look at them they've grown up since I saw them last" as she took April out. "They're eatting like horses right now". "Just wait till you get to solids your clothes are going to look like Jackson Pollock paintings" as Criss tried not to laugh thinking about it. "We should get them home to put them down for a nap"George stated. "I have a better idea why don't you four go out to dinner and I'll watch these darlings for you"Dimitra offered. "Mom are you sure you can handle twins that's like double trouble"Criss replied.

"Christopher if I can handle some of the stuff you've done in your career I can handle these darling beside you guys need some time to yourself as a couple"Dimitra stated. Criss walked over to his mom and kissed her. "Don't ever change mom"Criss remarked. "Just let me go to the apartment first Aunt Dimitra I don't think Criss has diapers or formula here". "Maybe in a few years"Sandra joked. George gave Trina a kiss and left.

After George got the stuff they all went out to dinner. After they were sat down they started to talk. "I can't believe in two days you guys will be married". "It feels weird thou"Criss remarked. "Why Criss?" Sandra asked. "Maybe because I've been through this before now I know what is needed to make a marriage work". "Like not going to bed angry"George remarked. "Being there for your wife or husband when something has gone wrong"Sandra said hugging Criss's arm. "Or when family gets to be a pain in the behind" Trina said as everyone giggled. The waiter came by with a plate of garlic bread which made Sandra get up. Trina went after Sandra as the guys just sat there with their jaws on the floor.

At the bathroom Sandra was splashing water on her face as Trina came in. "You all right Sandra you just ran out of there like a bat out of hell". "I don't know what happened as the waiter put down the bread a huge wave of nausia just hit I thought for a second I was going to puke in Criss's lap" she replied. "Sandra have you ever thought you could be pregnant again" Trina suggested. "I never thought of it". "How about after dinner we go to the drug store and buy a test". "That's a good idea"Sandra remarked. A knock came to the door. "Sandra you all right in there". It was Criss. "I'll be right out Criss. Let's keep this between us all right". "All right Sandra" Trina said and they came out while Criss was waiting. "You all right you scared me for a second there". "I just got kind of queasy but it's passed" Sandra stated. "Are you sure we can go home if you're not feeling well" Criss said. "No I'm fine come on let's have some dinner" and they went back to our seats.

The next day while Criss was at work and George was with the kids Trina and Sandra were at the house. In the bathroom Sandra was waiting for the results as Trina paced. "So do you have the results?". "I still got two minutes good what if I am pregnant?" Sandra thought out loud. At The Luxor JD came in to see that the place was empty. "Christopher!". Criss leaned up than grabbed a bottle of water. "You all right Criss?"JD asked walking over. "I was working on some stuff for the website when I started to feel sick and before I knew it I was throwing up"he replied. "Do you think you might have food posioning again"JD wondered. "If so than everyone should be sick"Criss remarked leaning back. At Serenity Sandra was sitting on the bed with the pregnancy test in her hand. "So what's the verdict you and Criss having a baby". "I can't look I'm too scared to what if it's negative and it's just nerves about the wedding".

"But what if you are you and Criss can finally have that child you guys always wanted"Trina remarked. Sandra looked at the results as tears fell down her face. Back at The Luxor Criss was in a meeting when he started to feel sick again. "Excuse me" and went to the bathroom where he threw up again. When Criss came back JD was outside waiting for him. "Sorry" Criss replied. "Why don't you go home and relax before you blow chunks on The Believe stage tonight?"JD suggested "All right call me if you need me" and Criss left. When he got home Sandra was sitting there. "Christopher what are you doing home?". "I wasn't feeling good so JD sent me home you look like you have something on your mind". "I'm pregnant Christopher!!"

[RACHEL02189]

"A-a-are you sure?"Criss stuttered. "Yes I took a test look postive" showing him. Sandra saw Criss was going white. "You all right?". Criss said nothign as he ran to the kitchen and threw up in the sink. "That's one way to react about a baby"she joked. At the house Trina was feeding Chole while George was on the phone with JD. "Thanks for the warning JD" and hung up. "What's this about a warning?"Trina inquired. "JD sent Criss home he was puking so he thought Criss might have food posioning ". "Maybe Criss has sympathy pregnancy" Trina thought out loud. "What do you mean by that?"George inquired. "You tell anyone this I'll make you change every smelly diaper untill these kids are potty trained" she wanred him. "All right I swear"he replied. "Sandra's pregnant".

George sat down. "Are you serious?". "Yea I saw the results with my own two eyes"Trina remarked. "I wonder if Criss is still upright or Sandra is using smelling salts right now"George joked as he sat down. "I swear George when I told you I was having twins I thought I was going to need smelling salts just incase your legs buckled on you". George laughed. That night Criss showed up for Believe . Back-stage JD wondered if he should cancel Believe when Criss walked over. "Hey bro"he said. "I'm surprise you didn't cancel Believe". "I'm-fine JD do you mind taking three steps back your aftershave is making me want to gag all over your shoes"Criss remarked. "Criss should I call the papers"JD inquired. "About what?"Criss asked.

"I really don't know how to say this with out sounding stupid but are you pregnant". Criss chuckled as JD sat down. "Wrong gender JD unless they finally found a way for that to happen" Criss replied. "But the only time anyone has told me to cut down on my aftershave was Lynn and Trina when they were pregnant"JD stated. "Well stay away from Sandra"Criss said. "Sandra's pregnant". Criss nodded as he smiled. "Congrates man mom is going to do flips when she finds out". "Well keep it to yourself I want to tell her"Criss replied.

A day before the wedding we all went to a rehersal dinner at The Luxor. At the house George and Trina were getting ready.. George was tieing his tie when Trina came out happy. "I finally did it I lost all my baby weight"she replied in delight. "That's good those girls really put the weight on you"George remarked. "I swear if that doctor said I needed to put on more weight I would of punched him in the face and blame on hormone imbalance"Trina stated. "I love my mom I was talking to her she was wondering if we were going to get married before the third baby comes around" "Well tell your mother we're using birth control I'm not ready for swollen belly"Trina stated. "Come on we're going to be late" and they left.

At the resteraunt Criss was talking with JD as George and Trina walked in. "Hey Criss" giving him a hug. "I see you finally found a baby sitter for the twins". "Yea thank god"Trina said. "Hey Criss where's Sandra?"JD inquired. "Bathroom I think the morning sickness has-(burp) hit"Criss remarked looking a little pale. "Christopher you all right you look a little green around the gills"she stated coming over. "I'm fine just a some indigestion from lunch" as Dimitra walked off. "You sure you're ok?"George asked. "I talked to my dotor and told him the symptoms and the first words out of his mouth was is anyone in the family pregnant. He told me I have sympathic pregnancy it will pass I hope" Criss remarked. "If not you and Sandra may have the same size stomach" as Criss rolled his eyes.

"I'm getting a drink"Criss said as he walked off. "Remember Criss nothing alcoholic"JD stated. When Sandra came over she saw Criss. "Hey sweetie you don't look happy?". "I'm fine just my brother and George ribbing me because I have sympathic pregnancy"Criss replied. "Don't worry about JD beside I think it's sweet that your body has sympathy for what my body is going to go through in the next nine months"she remarked and gave Criss a kiss. All of a sudden they heard yelling so they came out and saw Marcus arguing with Aunt Stella. "How dare you tell me what to do". "Lady you are this close to being kicked out of your own son's life if you don't lay off my sister. She has done nothing wrong to your son"Marcus argued. "Nothing wrong she has made my son believe that those bastards are his children which they are not". "MOM!!"George called out.

"Aunt Stella cut it out"Criss stated walking over. "This isn't your arguement Christopher". "It is they're right Aunt Stella eversince you found out about Chole and April you've been a monster to Trina even after those babies were born. They are George's children and your grand children and George loves Trina enough to marry her"Criss said. "What do you mean?"Dimitra asked. "When you sent us out on a double date we decided to do plan B and elope"Trina stated as George put on his wedding ring than put on Trina's for her. Everyone was stunned. "So you were there Christopher?". "Me and Sandra were-". Criss grabbed on to a chair. "Christopher are you alright?" Dimitra asked as Sandra sat him down. "Yea just got dizzy all of a sudden"Criss said as Dimitra gave him some water.

"I think it's the stress from this wedding Christopher maybe we should make this a reherasal lunch or breakfast before you end up cancelling the wedding again" Dimitra suggested. "Yea I think that would be good Christopher"Sandra replied. "Yea Criss I don't think you want to get married in a hospital chapel" Trina said. "All right". "Come on Criss let's get you and Sandra a cab since Sandra doesn't know how to drive some of your cars"JD suggested.

Great Chapter :) Stella is really starting to annoy me , Poor Criss i hope he is alright , Can't wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

The next day Dimitra came over to find bride's party getting ready. "Where did you hide the boys?"she inquired. "George took them to the apartment and Aunt Stella is at The Luxor before I did something that I didn't want to do"Trina remarked. "I have no clu what is up with her I thought she'd be happy to have grandchildren or to have you as a sister in law. Sometimes I wonder why Christopher never asked you out before Sandra came into his life"Dimitra wondered. "Dimitra Criss never told you I set Criss and Sandra up"she said with a smile. "You're the matchmaker" she stated surprised. "I'm not the maid of honor just because I work with the groom" Trina joked. The phone rang and Dimitra went to get it. "Hello". "Hey Mrs. Sarantokas it's Marcus Trina's brother is she there". "Hold on and please call me Dimitra I feel old when people call me that" she replied. Up in the bedroom they were taking pictures of Sandra in her dress.

"Sandra Criss is going to be thrilled when he sees you in that dress"Trina remarked. "I'm just happy I didn't have to have let out because of the baby" Sandra said as she laughed. "Don't worry you got four months before you get the stretch pants on"Trina stated. A knock came to the door and it was Dimitra with the phone. "Your brother is on the line" giving her the phone. "Thanks hello Marcus what can I do for you"she asked. "We got a problem our limo broke down on our way to the church they're going to send another one when I don't know". "If you want to I grab my car if JD doesn't mind riding in the back"I offered. "We'll see" and hung up. "Is everything all right?"Sandra asked. "The guy's limo broke down and the dealer's not sure when one will come and get them". "I swear if they ruin my wedding-".

"Sandra take a breath your heads looks like it's about to do a one eighty" Trina stated. "Sorry must be the hormones"she replied sitting down. "You saw how I was with mood swings I even went off on Criss once he said he was ready to call a priest to perform an excorism on me"Trina joked. "I hope I'm not like that" Sandra said. "Just make sure you don't go postal on Criss or he may put you in one of his straight jackets" as they both laughed.

[RACHEL02189]

At the church Sandra and Trina were waiting. "I'm so nervous"Sandra stated. "So was I when I got married " as Trina chuckled. "i hope the guys get here soon or people are going to think Criss got cold feet"Sandra remarked. On the side of the road Criss was getting fustard when he saw the time. "I'm going to be late for my own wedding!!". "Calm down Criss JD is on the phone with them trying to get another limo"Costa said. JD came over and he didn't look happy. "it's going to be a half an hour wait for another limo". "Are you :mad: serious my wedding is in ten minutes people are going to think I'm getting cold feet and leaving Sandra at the altar"Criss replied ready to kill someone. "Maybe we should give Trina a call and see if she can pick us up".

"Give her call I just hope her car can fit us all in". Marcus got up and told JD not to call. "You have something up your sleeve Marcus?"Criss asked. "I know someone who can help us and he lives about five minutes from here". JD gave Marcus his phone and Marcus called. "Hey Terry it's Marcus can you help me out I'm in a wedding party with a dead limo do you think you can give us a lift. Four people yea all right I owe you man" and hung up. It seems like ten seconds when two cars came down the street that reminded Criss of Trina's car CC. "Anyone want a ride to a wedding"the guy called out. "Marcus you are amazing"Costa replied. "Carl Terry meet my friend Criss Angel he's the one getting married" as Criss shook their hands.

"Thanks guys I owe you my life for this"Criss stated. "Any friend of MArcus's and Trian's are friend with us come on let's go". The guy got into the cars and they left. At the church everyone was wondering where the groom was including Sandra. In the hall Trina was looking at her watch. "Come on Criss where are you" she muttered as Dimitra came over. "Did you try to call them". "Yea but nobody's answering I hope Criss didn't get cold feet and decided to run to Mexico"she remarked. "If he does Sandra and me may kill him"Dimitra stated. Then Trina saw two cars coming in the parking lot of the church. "They're here"Trina replied as the cars parked and the guys got out. "George Christopher where have you been everyone is waiting"Dimitra stated.

"Thank Marcus he got two of his friends to pick us up when the limp died"Criss replied. "Hey Carl, Terry". "Hey Trina congrates on the kids and the marriage"Carl called out. "Thanks guys". "Well let's get it going shall we"Dimitra stated. Before Criss went in he asked Trina for a pen which she had. Criss walked over to the guys. "if you guys see Believe give the ticket taker these and you'll get a free ticket on me"Criss remarked. "Thanks Angel this is going to make my wife's birthday". "And my daughter's graduation from high school"Carl added. The guys said good-bye and left as Criss went to the altar.

[RACHEL02189]

The wedding went pretty good expect for Sandra crying and not using water proof mascra. Criss on the other hand was trying to remember his vows. At the reception everyone was having fun including Trina and George. "Having fun"George asked giving her a hug. "Yea look at Sandra and Criss dance they remind us of us when we got married"she said smiling. "So when do you think Criss and Sandra will let people know about their wedding gift so to speak"George wondered. After they finished dancing Criss grabbed a mic. "I would like to thank everyone who came to this wedding today".

Everyone clapped and cheered. "Before this night is over me and Sandra have announcement to make to all of you". "What is it Christopher?"his mother asked. "Sandra's pregnant we're going to have a baby"Criss announced. The crowd went crazy as everyone gave Criss and Sandra their congratulations. After the announcement Criss walked over to me and asked if I wanted to dance. "If you don't mind"she stated. "I'll go ask the bride if she wants to dance" and Trina and Criss went on the dance floor. "Have I told you how happy I am and thank you for introducing me to Sandra"Criss remarked. "You're welcome Christopher and I knew you and Sandra would end up together"she replied. "Me and Sandra were talking in the limo for names and we decided that if it's girl we're going to name her Trina"Criss said. "Oh Christopher thank you" and gave him a kiss. "What are you going to do if it's a boy?"I asked as Criss twrilled me. "Name him after my dad probably". "How about a bit of grandfather and son: Christopher John"she suggested. "How about John Christopher?". "See what Sandra thinks"Trina stated. "All right"

Criss woke up to a beautiful sunny day. He looked to his left and saw his wife sleeping next to him. He gave her a kiss. "Good morning sweetie". Sandra smiled as she rolled to look into his eyes. "Hey you"Sandra remarked. "How are you and junior doing" touching her belly that had grown. "The baby was moving and grooving last night" she replied. "Well I guess the baby has relaxing"he stated. Sandra just kept looking at her pregnant belly. "What's wrong Sandra?" as she sat up. "I feel masive seeing my stomach this way. I use to have a flat stomach now I look like I went to an all you can eat buffet and clean the place out"she replied looking at her belly button that was an inny which now became an outie. "Just be thankful there's one in there instead of two or three you saw how big Trina got with Chole and April"Criss reminded her.

"I went to the doctor yesterday he said that I need to start eatting more than what I eat now. If I do that I'm going to getso fat I'm not going to be able to get up"Sandra stated . "Sandra you have to remember you're eatting for you and our baby"Criss reminded her. "I know I've always been slimmed now I can't even fit into my pants and have to wear a pair of pants with a elastic waist band". "Why don't we get out of bed and I'll make you and our little munkin breakfast". As Criss got up Sandra smiled which Criss saw. "Why the smile?'. "It's the baby he or she is moving". Criss walked over and put hand on her pregnant belly. "Wow"Criss stated as a smile appeared on his face as well

[RACHEL02189]

At The Luxor Trina was talking to her brother. "It's amazing Marcus Chole is crawling like crazy but April wants to walk so bad that she's trying to stand. George and I want another child but this time we're waiting this time all right I'll talk to you later" and hung up as Criss came in. "Hey Criss how you doing?"she asked as Criss sat down. "Good but I had a weird dream last night I dreamt that I woke up and I was pregnat too" Criss replied as Trina giggled. "That I'd like to see you with a swollen belly" she stated. "Did George eve have a dream like that?"Criss inquired. "Why don't you ask him he's taking me to lunch later" she replied. "Trina did you ever have a problem with what pregnancy did to your body phyiscally".

"Pick your choice Criss, Swollen ankle, sore back, leg cramps, heart burn that felt like you had a fire in your chest than feeling like a blimp and wonder if you'll ever see your feet again"Trina replied. "I guess with pregnancy guys kind of get away scott free untill the child comes"Criss stated. "Think of it this way Sandra is makinbg a human being that in few short months will here that you'll love and care for untill you die"Trina said. Criss smiled. "Trina cancel the rest of the day I'm going spend the day with Sandra"Criss remarked getting up. "Criss if you want to make Sandra feel good massage her feet and back"Trina replied. At the house Sandra was just sitting on the couch thinking. "Sandra". Sandra got up and walked to the room to see Criss hanging up his coat. "Christopher I thought you were at work".

"I was thinking of our little conversation this morning and after talking to Trina I felt like you're doing all this work with making this baby and having it. I should do something for you"he stated. "Like what?". "I talked to the person who does my massages and his wife does massages for pregnant women so she's coming over to give you a massage". "Oh Criss" as tears started to fall down her face. "I wanted to surprise you with this when the baby comes I've taking some time off to help you with the baby and get into a routine"Criss stated. "Just don't become a stay at home father like George your fans will blame me and this baby" as Criss giggled. That night Trina was changing Chole when her cell phone rang. "Hello". "Hey Trina how the twins doing?". "Good just changing Chole you shound happy" Trina replied as she threw away the dirty diaper. "Criss got me a massage which felt great". "That's great so how you feeling Criss kept asking me questions about pregnancy"Trina inquired as she put Chole to bed.

"I just weirded out about my belly". "Why". "I just hate feeling fat I know this is temporary". "Well there's one thing about pregnancy I liked giving in to the cravings I would send George out for low mein or pizza". "I have been craving a large bacon and cheese pizza". "Than send Criss out for it["Trina remarked. "All right talk to you later" and hung up

[RACHEL02189]

A few months went by and Trina was working on some stuff as Criss came in with his suitcase. "So you ready to go?"she asked. "I don't know I just feel like I should be here since Sandra is getting close to having that baby"Criss remarked. "Criss she told me yesterday that she's got another eight weeks to go before that baby makes its appearance". "They said the same thing to my mother about me and you know what happened there"Criss replied. Trinaa chuckled. "How about this I'll go check on her and she knows if that kids takes after you she'll call me and I'll be there untill you can back here" holding out her hand. Criss shook her hand and grabbed his stuff. "Have fun at the air base and be careful I don't think Sandra wants to be a widow before that baby comes" and Criss left.

After Criss left Trina decided to go see Sandra. At Serenity Sandra was on the couch rubbing her stomach as Trina came in. "Hey Sandra"Trina called out. "Over here" she called out. Trina came over. "Boy that kid did some gowing". "I don't think it's the baby I gave in to my cravings and now I have a stomach ache"Sandra replied getting up. "Before you know it that baby is going to be here and your belly will be flat before you know it". Sandra moaned a little. "God I wish my stomach would stop aching"she replied. "Sandra do the aches come and go or just spaced out"Trina asked. "They've been coming and going every ten minutes,". "Great now I've peed myself". Trina put her hands over her mouth. "Sandra you didn't pee yourself your water broke and you stomach is aching because you're in labor"Trina replied. "Are you sure?". "Yes come on we need to get you to the hospital before that kid is born here".

"Oh my god !"Sandra remarked as Trina timed it. "That hurt"Sandra said as the contraction stopped. "Sandra your contraction are now five minutes apart forget driving you I'm calling an amblunce". "Trina call Criss see if you can catch him before he leaves for the air base"Sandra replied. At the airport Criss was waiting for take off with his mom and JD. "Something on your mind Christopher?" Dimitra asked. "I'm just worried about Sandra since it's getting close to the baby's arrival I feel like I should be near here instead of doing this thing" Criss remarked. "Criss don't worry Trina is with her and if George would get in the plane we can leave". George was about to get on when his phone rang.

"Listen Costa I have to go". "George it's Trina get Criss off the plane Sandra's in labor"she stated. "Are you on your way to the hospital". "No her contractions are speeding up we're at Serenity just get Criss here before he misses it" and hung up. "Come on George before we leave with out you"Criss called out. George got into the plane. "Great now close the door and we'll leave"JD stated. "We have to get off the plane now"George stated. "Why George is there something wrong with the plane?"JD asked. Criss looked at George and stood up. "The baby's coming isn't it". George nodded. "What hospital". "They're still at the house that kids wants out in the worse way". Criss grabbed his bag and got out of the airplane like a jack rabbit as the other got out too.

At the house Trina was doing her best to keep Sandra calm while in labor. "Oh god I can't take much more of this"Sandra replied. "Welcome to the wonderful world of labor Sandra call it the finish line of pregnancy"Trina remarked. "If I knew it wold be this hard I would of opted for a c-section god it feels like my stomach is tearing in two"Sandra stated. "Walk around a little don't stand in one place Sandra". Sandra walked a little stopping when a contraction hit. "I hope that amblunce gets here soon I'm getting a weird feeling"Sandra said. "What like you have to push?". Yea I've been ingoring it but it's getting tougher to ignore it" Sandra replied. "Sandra do you feel anything between your legs?". Sandra put her hand down. The look of panic said it all. "Oh :mad: no time to wait for that amblunce. Just get down on the floor and get ready to deliver your child".

As Trina got some towels the door opened "Trina!!"Criss said. "Great timing Christopher you're just in time" as she came out of the bathroom with the towels. "The baby's coming now!!!". "The baby's crowning Criss come on". The went into the living room where Sandra was on the floor. "Christopher"she said as Criss walked over to her. Criss gave her a kiss as Trina put a towel over her knees. "All right Sandra I need you to push as hard as you can". Sandra pushed as Criss took a look which got him a bit queesy. "Come on Sandra one little push and you'll have your baby"Trina replied. The amblunce arrived as crying filled the house. "What is it Trina?"Criss asked. "It's a boy Christopher" as she gave them the baby. The EMTS came in and took over. Criss got up and thanked Trina for what she did. "It was my pleasure Christopher congratulation dad" as Criss wiped the tears from his face. They put Sandra on the stretcher and they went to the hospital.

A few weeks passed and Criss invited everyone over to meet baby John. Outside George was playing wit his daughters. "It's weird to see George with kids"JD stated. "George is getting to be a great father with the girls and he told me that he wants to come back to Mindfreak since the girls are old enough for day care"Trina replied. Thank you dad Criss thought. "So how's Sandra doing with the baby?" Lynn inquired Before he said a word the baby started to cry. "Excuse me". "Criss wait a minte let Sandra bond with her baby". Criss looked at them. "Something's wrong with Sandra she's been moody, crying, and she doesn't want to even hold John". "Criss have you talked to her doctor abot this?"JD inqired. "He sayes it's what they call the baby blues". "Criss that's not baby blues it's PPD and this is serious"Trina stated. "Let me take care of John first". When he got up there he saw Sandra standing over John's crib but as he got closer she saw Sandra had a pillow.


"SANDRA NO!!" Criss yelled. Trina heard Criss yell and ran up the stairs to see Criss walking Sandra to the bed room. "Trina can you get John for me while I take care of Sandra"he asked. "Sure". She went into the nursery and picked up John. "It's all right John yea daddy will be right back". Criss came back in and Trina gave him to his father. "I think you're right Sandra does has postpartum depression big time". "What did she try to do Criss?" she inquired. "She was going to put a pillow over his face to keep him quiet"Criss replied as tears fell down his face.

*From my story The Blues

After the party was over Trina stayed behind to talk to Criss. "You all right Criss?" she asked. "Honestly I don't know what to do with Sandra. I'm so scared to leave John alone with her that I even bring him with me to Believe and have someone watch him"Criss remarked. "The one thing you have to do is talk to her doctor and tell him what's going on"she suggested. "I did that he sayes that it's a temporary thing". "Criss she almost killed John you need to talk to someone who can help Sandra before she hurts John or worse herself" she replied. Criss got up and went over to his phone book. He looked up a number and dialed it. "Hello is Ms. Sonnytage there this is one of her former patients Christopher Angel. Thank you". "Christopher long time no hear from how are you?" she said.

"I'm good but I have a problem that you can probably help me with". "What's that?". "Well my wife Sandra had a baby two weeks ago and I think she's suffering from PPD". "How bad do you think it is?". "She tried to kill our child today do you think you can talk to her and help her like you did with me"Criss suggested. "For you Christopher I'll even make a house call"she replied and hung up. "Who's this woman?". "*A few years ago I was diagonsed with morderate case of Depression. It got so bad sometimes that I tried to end my life and got put in a psych ward. After I found the trigger I got a hold enough that I didn't need Ms. Sunnytage". "I hope she can help Sandra like she helped you"Trina remarked. Criss crossed his fingers.

A few days had passed and Trina went to work to find JD in the office. "JD I thought you were on vacation with Lynn?". "It's Criss Costa went to pick him up he isn't at the house". "Did you call him or check Believe?"she inquired. "He's not picking up". "I'll try Believe"she remarked. When she went back-stage she hearcd a baby crying. She followed the noise to find Criss trying to make John stop crying. "Christopher what the heck your brothers are wondering where you are?". Criss looked up and he looked like a Zombie. "When's the last time you slept?" as she took the baby from Criss. "I've been getting one to two hours sleep"he replied rubbing his eyes. "Is Sandra helping yet?" sitting next to him. "She won't go near the baby she won't even hold him" he remarked. "How's the therpy going?" she asked as John stopped crying.

"Mrs Sunnytag is trying but Sandra won't let us help her"Criss replied. "Criss I know this is tough for you but don't worry she's going to get better for now why don't you go back into your dressing room lock that door and get some sleep I'll take care of John for a little while". "Oh Trina I can't do that to you". "Christopher you look like a zombie or someone who's been on an all night binge now go". "I must be tired for a second there you sounded like my mother"Criss remarked. When she came back Costa was there with Criss's mom and JD. "Dimitra nice to see you" she stated. "Well I had to see my new grand son". Trina gave him to Dimitra who asked why he was here and not with Sandra at home. "Mom there's something you should know Sandra has PPD and right now Criss is a single father because of it"JD replied. "I can't believe Christopher never told me". "It's true Dimitra I told Criss to get some sleep because he's been getting up with him since John came home from the hospital" Trina replied.

"Where's Christopher anyway did he go back to Serenity?". "Noway Criss looked like a zombie or a person who's been on a twenty-four hour binge he's asleep in his dressing room"Trina stated. Thank god he put in that hide a way bed JD thought. "For right now I'll take care of John here and we'll let Christopher get some sleep"Dimitra suggested. "I'll cancel everything today"JD remarked.

When Criss finally awoke he felt like he had been asleep for years. He came out of his 'cave' as he heard giggling. Criss walked to the stage and saw Trina and George kissing. For a moment Criss saw himself with Sandra doing the same thing he just wish he could have that Sandra back. Criss sighed and left through the back way. When he came back to the production office there was a not on the door for Criss that said:

DEAR CRISS,

I HOPE YOU HAD A RESTFUL SLEEP BECAUSE TRINA TOLD US YOU NEEDED IT. I'VE CANCELLED EVERYTHING FOR THE DAY EXPECT BELIEVE THAT YOUR CHOICE NOT MINE. MOM HAS JOHN SO WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME

JD

Criss didn't want to go home but there was nothing else to do. As Criss drove home he wondered if the Sandra he fell in love with would ever come back to him. When Criss came home the place was quiet. "Mom must of taking the baby out"Criss said to himself. "Christopher how nice to see you". Criss looked up and saw Ms. Sunnytag. "Hey how's Sandra today?" he asked. "She seems better your mom is upstairs showing Sandra how to change a baby which I think she can do blindfolded". "What do you expect she had three boys"Criss said as he giggled. "Come on". They went upstairs and watched as Dimitra showed her how to change the baby. "Do you want to hold him?"she asked. She looked ready to say no but the baby reached out and put his tiny hand around Sandra's finger. Criss saw a tear fall down her face.

"I-I'll try" she stuttered. "Just sit down Sandra". Sandra sat down and Dimitra handed her John. "Now just relax and hold him tight"Dimitra remarked. Criss could see Sandra's arm shaking a little but once she starred into his eyes the shaking went away. "Hello little guy"Sandra said to John. "John Sandra you named him John". "John he looks like a John"she said. Criss walked in and kneeled next to Sandra. Sandra looked into Criss's eyes and tears fell down her face. "Christopher I'm so sorry for the way I actted"she apologized. Criss got up and wiped the tears from her face.

"It's all right Sandra it wasn't your fault this happened"Criss remarked and gave her a kiss on the head as the baby whimpered a little. At the apartment Trina was making dinner when the phone rang. "Hello". "Hey Trina I wanted to give you an update on Sandra"Criss remarked. "how is she today?". "Better she watched my mom change his diaper than she sat down and held him. I swear Trina once she held John I could see her coming back a little"he replied. "That's great Criss and I wanted to tell you today that Chole took her first step today". "I guess she skipped crawling and went to walking maybe she'll start talking tomorrow the little over achiever"Criss stated as Trina laughed. "Well thanks for the update on Sandra and I hope she makes more progress soon"Trina stated. "Me too" and hung up.

Great Chapter , i'm glad Sandra is on her way to recovery , can't wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

As the days went on Sandra was starting to bond with her song which made Criss happy every time he saw Sandra holding him. That afternoon Criss talked to Mrs Sunnytag about Sandra. "She's doing pretty good but we need to show her that we trust her I think we should leave her alone with John" she suggested. "I don't know I get nervous when I go outside just to take a call for fear that Sandra may slip back and try to hurt John"Criss replied. "I know you're nervous about that Christopher". "I'll try how long do you think we should leave them alone"Criss remarked. "How about an hour for now". "All right Christopher". When Criss got home Dimitra was outside with Sandra. "Hello ladies how are you?". "We're good just talking"Sandra remarked. Criss pulled over a chair.

"Sandra I talked to Mrs. Sunnytag today and she wants to try something. She wants you to take care of John by yourself just for an hour". Criss and Dimitra could see the fear in her eyes. "I don't know if I'm ready Christopher" she replied. "How about this I ask Trina to come over just to be there just incase but you have to take care of John like she wasn't there". "All right"she remarked. At the apartment Trina was watching television when the phone rang. "Hello". "Hey Trina it's Criss I need a favor"he said. "Why not since George took the kids to see his mom I'm bored to tears by myself". "Just come over and I'll explain everything". When Trina got there Criss was waiting for her. "So what's the favor?". "Mrs. Sunnytag wants to leave Sandra alone but she's nervous so we made a deal she has to take care of the baby and you can't help her at all unless it becomes an emergency". "All right"she remarked. We walked in as Dimitra and Sandra came down.

"Now I want you to know you're going to do fine Sandra"Dimitra replied. "Thanks Dimitra" giving her a hug. "Come on mom". Criss gave Sandra a kiss and told her that she's going to be fine. She nodded as Criss and his mom left. "Thanks for doing this Trina I'm still nervous about being alone with John"she said as her shook. Trina took her hands. "Just think of me as surport and if you have a question about crying I'll answer I can tell a feed me cry to a change me cry"she remarked. "How?". "If it smells like a sewer line broke than it's time to change the baby" Trina replied and Sandra chuckled.

Great chapter :) I hope Sandra will be ok , can't wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

At a resteraunt Criss was trying not to worry about leaving Sandra with John but Dimitra could tell. "Christopher stop worrying Sandra is going to be fine with John" she assured her son. "I don't know my mind just keep bringing me back to when I saw Sandra with a pillow in her hand read to smother John"Criss remarked. She put her hand on her son's and told him not to worry that if something happens Trina was there for back up. "All right now let's order I'm straving"Criss said. At the house Trina was making some tea for her and Sandra as Sandra came down. "John is changed, fed, and in his crib asleep".

"Nice job Sandra and you did it all by yourself"Trina remarked giving her a hug. "Thanks for being here Trina I don't think I could of handle this on my own right now but knowing if things got sewrious you would be here to help me"Sandra stated. "I'm just happy the Sandra I know is coming back I could tell Criss missed you" she replied. "I'm surprise Criss hasn't called us to check up on us" Trina stated. Trina went into her pocket and took out Criss's blackberry. "Criss isn't the only one who knows how to pick pocket" as Sandra laughed. At the resteraunt Criss was at the bathroom about to call when he realized he didn't have his phone on him.

TRINAhe thought and went back to the table where Dimitra was waiting. "Were you checking up on Sandra?"she asked. "I was but I think Trina pulled a fast one on me by taking my phone when she gave me a hug"Criss replied as Dimitra tried not to laugh. When Dimitra and Criss fianlly got home Sandra and Trina were talking. "How was dinner?"Trina inquired. Dimitra and Criss sat down. "I can see Criss ordered too much as usually". "I feel like my stomach's about to explode"Criss replied sitting up. "I'm going to bed good night ladies" and Dimitra lwent to bed. That night Sandra woke up to hear John crying. She saw Criss sleeping so she got up and went into the nursery. Sandra walked in and picked up John. "What's the matter John you want a midnight snack come on let's go heat you up a bottle. A few minutes later Criss woke up with a bit of indestion.

"That's the last time I have a late dinner"he muttered. As Criss went to the bathroom for some relief he looked down and saw Sandra feeding John. "Is that good yea". Criss just watched as she burped John after he had finished the bottle. "You have your daddy's appettie at least you know when you've had enough" as John giggled a little. "Come on let give you a clean diaper and than it's back to bed". Criss went to the bathroom as Sandra brought John back to the nursery. After Sandra had finished she went back to bed and saw Criss was still asleep. She got back into bed and went back to sleep as well.

That was a lovely chapter :) I'm glad Sandra is doing well , cant wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

The next day George and Trina brought the kids over to Criss's house so Dimitra could see them. Outside Sandra was playing peek a boo with John as Criss just watched with a smile on his face. "Yo Criss"A voice called out. Criss looked up and saw Trina and George with the kids. "Hey guys" giving George a hug. "How is everything?"Trina inquired. "Good how are the girls?". "Good". George put April down and she walked to Criss while Chole just held on to the table. "Very good April"Criss remarked as he picked her up. "Well this guy needs a change or a sewer line broke" Sandra stated getting up. "I think this one needs it too"Criss added handing April to Trina. "Come on maybe we should have arace on who can change the fastest"Trina suggested. "No fair April doesn't give you shower when you change her"Sandra replied as they went upstairs. "So how was the vacation with Aunt Stella".

"Don't tell Trina this but my mom gave me divorce papers that she had drawn up". "Are you serious?" Criss said with his jaw on the floor. "Yea but I ripped them up I wouldn't do that my mom needs to have her head looked at if she thinks I'd do that". "Do what George?" Dimitra asked coming out with some drinks. "Believe me mom you don't want to know Aunt Stella has gone off the deep end" Criss replied. The girls came back down and outside. "Hello Dimitra"Trina remarked giving her a kiss. "Hello Trina is this April she's so adorable"she replied giving her a kiss. April smiled. "Granmie"she replied. "That's cute she thinks Dimitra is her grandmom" George remarked. Dimitra smiled as a tear ran down Trina's face. "Dimitra can you take April I have something in my eye" she asked. "Sure". She gave April to Dimitra and went inside. "She all right George?". "Yea today is her mom's birthday and she wanted to go put flowers on her grave but since there's a hurricane in North Carolina they had to cancel the flight"George remarked.

"Criss can you watch John for a minute I want to make sure she's all right" Sabdra asked. "All right" and she went inside to find Trina in the kitchen wiping away the tears. "You allright Trina?". "Yea when April called Dimitra granmie it just made me think of how my parents are never going to meet them" Trina remarked. "Sometimes I wonder what Criss's dad would of thought of me or the child we made". "I know my parents would of loved George"Trina replied. "Come on let's go outside and have some fun with our husband and children". We went outside and Criss and George were watching the girls while John was in his playpin asleep. "I see someone got tired"Sandra remarked giving Criss a kiss. "Trina you all right Geoge told us-". "It's all right guys I'm good"Trina remarked giving George a hug.

"I was just thinking in April and maybe Chole's mind Dimitra is their grandmother so Dimitra is their surrogate grandmother"Sandra suggested. "That intestering thought Sandra I never thought of it that way" Trina replied. "Why not my mom considers you ladies the daughters she never had"Criss added. "I don't know you looked pretty cool in drag playing Crissy" George said giggling. Criss rolled his eyes as everyone laughed.

[RACHEL02189]

While they were at Criss's house George and Trina put the twins in some bathsuits with swimmies and went for a swim in Criss's pool. Sandra even put John in a little floatie so that he could have some fun. Dimitra just sat at the edge with her feet in the water and watched everyone. "Come on mom it's cool considering it feel like it's a hundred and two out"Criss suggested. "I'm fine Christopher consider me a volunteer lifeguard". The kids were having fun in the pool including John who was laughing. Dimitra got up and went inisde but a few seconds later they all heard something break. "Mom"Criss called out, but no answer. "George watch the kids"Trina said as Criss and Trina got out of the pool. They walked in and found Dimitra on the floor unconscious. "Oh my god mom can you hear me mom!"Criss called out to her.

Trina checked for a pulse. "She has a pulse Criss " as she started to come to. "What happened?"she asked sitting up a little. "You passed out Dimitra" Trina replied. "I'm going to call for an amblunce mom"Criss suggested. "Hold on Criss I have a better idea Marcus's sponser at Gambler's anonymous is a doctor I'll ask him to come over to take a look at Dimitra and if it's her heart we'll call for the amblunce"she stated. "All right" and gave the phone to her. "Hello Doctor Loins's office how may I help you?". "Yes is the doctor in I'm a friend of his". "Hold on please" and put Trina on hold. "Hello Nicholas Loin". "Nick it's Trina, Marcus's brother"she stated. "Oh yes how can I help you Trina". "I'm at my boss's house and his mother passed out for a few seconds. I was wonderign if you could come over and take a look at her". "Sure just give me the address and I'll be right over" he remarked. She gave him the address and hung up.

Great Chapters :) i hope criss's mum will be ok , can't wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

When the doctor arrived Dimitra was laying on the couch with a cold cloth to her head. Trina walked him over as Criss sat across from his mother scared to death that it was her heart giving her trouble again. "Come on Criss let's go outside and let the doctor take a look at her"Trina suggested. Knowing arguing wouldn't help he went with Trina. "God what if it's her heart"Criss muttered sitting in a chair. "Criss take a breath she probably tripped and lost her balance" Trina said. Tears started to well up as the thought of what she went through the first time started to play back in his mind. The fear that she was going to die or worse end up needed a heart transplant. The doctor came out as Criss and Trina sat up. "How my mom?"Criss asked. "She's all right Christopher she has heat stroke". "So it wasn't her heart". "No just the heat got to her and not drinking a lot of water" the doctor replied.

"Do you think I should bring her to the hospital?"Criss asked. "No just keep her inside during this heat wave, make sure she's drinking enough water, and if she needs to go out in this heat make her bring an umbrella or keep her in a shaded area"the doctor remarked. "Thank you for coming over"Trina said. "No problem and if you need me again here's my number for emergencies"the doctor remarked giving Criss a card. Criss showed the doctor out as I gave George a heads up. After the doctor left Criss sat on the the small table next to the couch. "You gave me quite a scare mom"Criss stated. "I guess I should of gone into the pool with the rest of you"she joked as Criss gave his mom a kiss.

"You just relax mom". I walked over as Criss came out. "I called George to let him know that Dimitra's fine". "I'm glad Sandra and George took the kids out for some ice cream"Criss stated wiping the tears from his face. Trina gave Criss a hug. "See I told you everything would be all right"she whispered into his ear.

When the gang came back Criss and Trina were watching some video. "What are you watching?"George inquired coming in. "Just some video mom brought" Criss replied. "How's your mother?". "Better she's in her room resting right now"Criss replied as George sat down with the twins on the floor and Sandra holding John in her lap. "Christopher is that you?"Sandra asked when she saw Criss doing demostration. "Believe or not yea"Criss remarked giggling. "I can't believe how long your hair was"Trina said. "I'm just thankful someone taught him how to dress"George added as everyone laughed. As the video went on Trina's phone went off. "Hello Marcus what can I do for you?"she asked. "Well I was wondering if you, Criss, George and Sandra are busy tonight". "Why you treating us to dinner?".

"No I've been gambling free for a year tomorrow and I would like you guys there at the meeting"he asked. "Let me call you back,"Trina stated and went back to the living room. "Criss do you think your niece can babysit the kids for a while". "I can call why?". "Marcus is getting his one year thing tonight and he wants us there". "Let me call Dimi and see"Criss replied getting up. He went into his office and called Dimi. "Hello". "Dimitra is your uncle Criss"he said. "What's up you and Sandra need a babysitter for tonight?". "Dimi you're starting to get good at mentalism but you're half right. George and Trina were wondering if you could watch the twins too just for a little while". "Can't grandma do that?". Criss didn't want to worry Dimi about what happen to Dimitra today so he decided to lie. "Your grandmother is a little under the weather. I think the heat just got to her but I want her to take it easy so do you mind just coming over here to Serenity?". "All right Uncle Criss I'll be there" and hung up

Criss came out and said it was all right. "Let me call Marcus back and tell him". As Trina called back her brother Sandra noticed Criss looked a little white. "You all right Criss?"Sandra asked. Criss ran over to the kitchen sink and vomited. "Oh my god Criss". Criss turned on the facuit to clean out the sink as Sandra gave him a cloth to wipe his mouth. "You all right Criss the last time I saw you do that Sandra was pregnant"George said. "I'm fine" as Trina came back in. "You lied didn't you"Trina replied. "I'm confused"Sandra remarked. "Criss hates to lie so much that when he does he throws up"Trina explained. "I couldn't even lie to my parents when I was a kid they would know if I threw up than I was lieing or had a stomach virus"Criss said.

When we got to the church where the meeting was being held Marcus was outside. "Hey bro"Trina remarked giving him a hug. "Thanks for coming"he said. "So what's going on why did you want us here?"Sandra asked. "You guys have been great to me since I decided to get help for my addiction even you Criss. That wake up call you did really helped me"Marcus stated. "It's no problem Marcus"Criss remarked. "Why don't we go in before they start the meeting with out us"Marcus suggested. "I'll be right down"Criss said and they went down as Sandra stayed behind. "Something bugging you Christopher?"she asked.

"Just thinking of the past and realizing what could of happened if I took that money my mom gave me to fund my show to pay off my bookies"Criss replied. "Criss that's the past you said that vision you think your father sent you helped you see what was going on"she replied. "I guess so" and they went downstairs. When they got down there Criss was shocked to see his mother and his brothers in the basement. "What's going on?"he said surprised. "Well Criss I was talking with Marcus a few weeks ago and he informed me that your one year anniversary was coming up"Trina said. "We knew that you wouldn't invite your family so I played a little misdirection as Trina puts it and planned this for you"Marcus replied. Criss wiped a tear from his face. Criss went up to the podium as they gave him his chip.

"When I first got this addiction I thought I could control but it took a premenation of my mom sitting on the sidewalk with a foreclourse sign on our house to show me that the addiction had control over me. I took my punishment that day and ended up being in a hospital bed in pain. I never thought in my wildest dream that the gambling would take control again but it took a good friend and my wife to realize I was heading down that same road again so thank you"Criss replied. Criss walked over to his mom and gave her a hug. "That was a wonderful speech Christopher"she remarked. "Yea it was Criss"JD added. "Why don't we all go back to serenity before Dimi reconsiders having kids when she's older"Trina suggested and they left. The next day George was working with Criss when the phone rang.

"Hello yes this George what are they all right I'll be right there" and hung up. "George what's wrong?"Criss inquired as George sat there in shock. "Trina and the girls were involved in a car accident they had to be cut out of the car"he replied. "Come on George I'm driving you to the hospital" Criss said putting on his coat. George got up as Costa walked in. "Where are you guys going?"he asked. "Trina and the girls were in a car accident I'm driving George to the hospital"Criss replied. "I'll give Marcus a heads up do you want me to call Sandra?"Costa asked. "No I will" and they left. When they got to the hospital George was talking to a nurse as Criss was on the phone with Sandra.

"I don't know anything yet when I find out I'll tell you. I love you too" and hung up. "Trina's in surgery with internal bleeding and other injuries" George stated. "The girls what about the girls?". "April's fine she's got a broking arm. Chole on the other hand is critical she 's unconscious and she hasn't woken up yet. They're thinking that she might have brain swelling they're doing a MRI right now on her. Criss what if I lose my child and the woman I love". Criss gave him a hug as he cried. "It's going to be all right George just relax". "Daddy"a voice called out. He turned around and saw April. "Oh April my aweetie". He picked her up and hugged her. "Where's mommy and Chole?". "We don't know yet sweetie"George remarked. Then Marcus showed up. "George how's Trina I came as fast as I could". "Criss why don't you take April to your house for tonight"George suggested.

"All right come on sweetie let's go see Auntie Sandra and baby John"Criss said. Geogre gave her a kiss and a hug and told Criss he'd call if he had anymore information. "You got it" and they left. At the house Sandra was upstairs putting JOhn to bed as Criss came in with a sleeping April in his arm. Sandra came down to see Criss putting April on the couch. "How's Trina and Chole?"she whispered. He took her into the kitchen. "Chole may have fluid on the brain and Trina is in surgery"Criss replied. "Poor Trina who's with George at the hospital". "Marcus Costa gave him the heads up" Criss said. "Do you mind if I go down there later". "No I'll stay here with April and John"Criss replied.

Great chapter :) I hope trina and chloe will be ok , cant wait to read more :)

[RACHEL02189]

That night Criss called his mom and informed her about what happened. "Have you heard anything different?". "Trina's out of surgery but Chole has some blood on her brain and swelling so they put her in a medical induce coma untill the swelling goes down enough". "How's George holding up?". "He's tough mom but I'd probably be going out of my mind if it was Sandra and John"Criss remarked. "Well keep me informed Christopher and tell George we're praying for him". "I will mom" and hung up as April came over. "Uncle Cwriss"she said. "Yea sweetie what's wrong you have a nightmare?"he asked. "Is mommy and my switter going to meet grandmom and grandpa". Criss picked her up. "No sweetie right now they're just hurt and the doctors are doing their best to help them so they can come hom and see you". "I miss them"she said as she started to cry.. "It's all right April"Criss remarked as he hugged her. When Sandra came home Criss was outside.

When she got closer Criss was holding a sleeping April. "She got so scared that she was going to lose her mom and sister she just strted to cry so I brought her out here to stare at the stars"Criss remarked. "When did she fall asleep?". "a few minutes ago do you think you can take her my arm is falling asleep and so are my legs"Criss askied. Sandra picked her up and brought her inside as Criss got up to get the blood flowing back into his arms and legs. After Sandra put April in the guest room she walked over to Criss. "How's Trina and Chole?". "Trina's all right for now, but Chole is in a coma George is in the ICU going from Trina's room to Chole's"she replied. "I talked to my mom to tell her what happened she wants me to keep her updated"Criss stated.

"I just feel so bad for George after everything he's gone through with the kids and his mom he may lose his wife and child,"she said. Criss gave Sandra hug. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you and John". "Me either why don't you go to bed and I'll stay down here just incase April has a nightmare"Criss suggested. "All right". Criss got a blanket and a pillow than went down stairs.

[RACHEL02189]

The next day George went home to change and when he came back Criss was there visiting Chole. "I thought you'd be at work?"George said as Criss looked up. "I wanted to see Trina and Chole"he replied giving Chole a kiss as he walked over to George. "I can't believe a guy who was :mad: texting put my daughter and wife in the ICU"he stated. "George relax they're going to be all right you can't let it get to you"Criss replied. "I know". "George why don't you go home and take a nap you look exhausted". "I can't leave them here". "George staying here isn't going to help Chole and Trina get better"Criss said to his cousin. "What if Chole opens her eye for a minute and I'm not here". "George I'll be here I took for once in my life a personal day so go home and get some rest. If Chole wakes up I'll call you"Criss suggested. "All right" and George left. In Trina's room she was on the phone with Sandra.

"I can't believe April got away with a couple of cuts and a broking arm". "Maybe if you're up to it I'll bring her down to see you. She was afraid you and Chole were going to meet your parents in heaven"she stated. "Thanks again for taking her last night". "It's no problem what are god parents for. Now just get better" Sandra replied and hung up as Criss came in. "Criss what are you doing here?". "The only way I could make your husband leave was to stay here beside for once in my life I took a personal day"he said. Trina picked up the phone. "Hello Las Vegas time did you hear Criss Angel took a personal day"she joked as Criss laughed. "Very funny"Criss said as he sat down. "How Chole they won't tell me anything including George. Criss took a breath. "She's got brain swelling and blood on the brain. They put her in a medical induce coma untill the swelling goes down,"Criss explained. Tears started to fall down Trian's face. "Trina look at me don't worry Chole is going to survive". "I'm scared that's I'm going to lose her Christopher". "Don't think the worest about this. Think of the happy times when you told George about their impeding arrival or the way I had to con you two into having dinner together". Trina chuckled. "Thanks Criss" she remarked. "You just relax and I'll go see Chole for a while than go home to watch the kids so Sandra can come up". He gave Trina a hug and left the room After he left the room Criss wiped the tears from his face. Dad if you can hear me don't let Chole or Trina die.

[RACHEL02189]

That afternoon Sandra went to see Trina. When she got there George was outside. "Hey George how you holding up?". "I feel helpless my wife is in the ICU and my daughter is fighting for her life. I'm scared that I"m going to lose one or both of them" he stated. "George take a breath everything will be all right why don't you go to Serenity and spend some time with April"she suggested. He gave her a hug and left. In ICU Trina was relaxing as Sandra came in. "Sandra it's so good to see you". "It's good to see you too" giving her a hug. "Did you see George outside?"she asked. "Yea I told him to spend some times with his daughter so he's on his way to Serenity"Sandra replied. "I-I-I saw Chole today and I can't believe my sweetie pie is in-". Trina started to cry.

"Trina it's going to be all right she's going to be the same Chole she's been since she came into this world,". Trina wiped the tears away. "Criss even joked that maybe when the kids are in their teen John may start dating one of them". Trina chuckled as that thought hit. "Maybe we'll be in-laws" as Sandra smiled. At Serenity Criss was upstairs when John started to cry. When Criss got half-way the crying stopped. He went to the nursery and saw April making faces at John which was making him smile. Before Criss could say anything the door bell rang so Criss went downstairs. At the door was George. "Hey George"he stated hugging him. "Where's April?"George asked coming in "April daddy's here"Criss called out shutting the door. April came running down the stairs and ran right into his father's arm which brought a smile to his face."Thanks for watching her Criss".

That night while Criss got ready for Believe he couldn't stop thinking of George and what he's going through with Chole. The ringing of his phone brought him back to reality. He looked at the caller ID and saw it was Sandra. "Hello sweetie what can I do for you?". "I got surprise at the door your mother in Las Vegas"she replied. "Seriously" he asked a bit surprised. "Ready to bring the roof down Christopher". Criss giggled. "Surprised me again mom I should put a GPS on you"he stated. "I'll see you when you get home". "All right" aned hung up. After he finished Believe he went home and found his mother feeding John. "Mom where's Sandra?" giving her a kiss.

"Asleep she looks exhausted so I sent her to bed. Then this little guy started to cry so I decided to let Sandra sleep"she replied. "Yea he's been eatting like a horse lately"Criss replied. "You were too as a baby," as Criss smiled. "I talked to George Trina is doing good" as she burped John. "Yea but Chole's still the same I've never seen George so scared before mom" putting the bottle in the sink. "He's scared for his wife and child Christopher". "I know I'm trying to be there for him"Criss remarked. "Aunt Stella is considering coming down to see George". "Or get him to sign divorce paper or get a DNA test to prove Chole and April are his"Criss rmuttered. "That's not nice Christopher". "It's the truth mom Aunt Stella hasn't liked Trina even when Trina had the twins she tried to make George thinks the twins weren't his"Criss explained. "I know Christopher some mother are different when their only child gets married"she stated. "If I saw you act this way mom I would not let you in the state of Nevada"Criss said as Dimitra giggled.

OH BOY Criss thought as he walked over. Christopher I knew you'd be here" giving him a kiss. "Aunt Stella what are you doing here?"he inquired. "I came to see my son and also your new baby Dimitra sayes he's cute as a button. Is George here or is he coming in later". "Aunt Stella George took some time off Trina-". "I knew it that little :mad: left my son and left him with those ankle bitters I kept tellling him-"No Trina and the girl were involved in a car accident. Chole is in a coma and Trina is still in the hospital"Criss explained. For some reason Criss saw a change in his aunt's face. "Is April all right?"she inquired. "Yea se got a bmp on the head and a broking arm. Sandra and mom watch her while George is at the hospital"Criss replied. "What hospital is she at?". "Desert Palm". "Thank yo Christopher"she remarked and left.

At the hospital George was sitting with Chole just looking at his little girl wondering if she'd ever wake up. A clearing of the throat made George look up and his mother standing there with a teddy bear in her arms. "Mom what are you doing here?". "I heard from Christopher about the accident with the girls and your wife. Do you mind if I give her this"she inquired. "No mom"he replied. She walked over and put the bear under her arm. "Mom if you're here-". Stella sat down. "Your father and Aunt Dimitra sat me down and explained what a :mad: I've been towards your wife. I just felt like she wasn't good enough for you but now I see you two love eachother enough to bring those girls into this world and for that I'm sorry"she remarked. "Thanks mom but I'm not the one you should apologize to. You should apologize to Trina"he stated. "You're right George I should". In another room Trina was looking out the window when a knock came to the door.

She turned and saw Stella with George. Trina was ready to blow her top when George walked over. "George if she's here to give me hell and blame wat happened to Chole and April I will throw her out of my room faster than Criss disappear"she said. "Trina take a breath she's here to apologize to you". Has hell frozen over she thought. "Just listen" and Stella came in and sat on the bed. "Trina I'm so so sorry for the way I've actted towards you. I felt like you were taking my only son away from me". "Stella I would never do such a thing to you. I know how much George loves you". "I hope you can forgive me for the way I actted during your pregnancy I should of realized that since it was you first child or children that I shouldn't of taking over like I did". "Thanks Stella"she replied. "I'm going to check on Chole". "George why don't you stay here I'm stay with Chole and if anything happens I'll have one of the nurses get you"Stella remarked. "Thanks mom" and she left.

Back at the production office Criss was looking over a few things when he saw his wife and mom with John come in. He dropped what he was doing and went outside to see them. "Christopher how nice to see to you"Dimitra stated. "Nice to see you guys too," giving them both kisses. "How was John's appointment with the doctor". "Good untill he had get his shots he let everyone in the place know he didn't like it"Sandra replied. "Probably made a few people rethink parenthood. Speaking of parents Aunt Stella stopped in"Criss stated. "What is she doing in town?"Dimitra asked as they sat down. "She wanted to surprise George. I told her that George took some time off. When I said that she started up with that Trina left George". "What did you do next Christopher?"his mother inquired. "I told her about the accident than something happened her mood changed".

"So what happened next did she just leave?". "Sort of she asked what hospital they were at and than left"Criss replied. "I shold give Trina a call and warn her that Stella is in town"Sandra suggested. "Why not after lunch I'm straving" Dimitra stated. Criss felt like throwing up when his mother mentioned lunch. "You all right Criss you don't look so good?". "Honestly I don't know what's wrong I don't have an appetite and when someone mentions food I just feel like I'm about to throw up like right now"Criss replied. "I also noticed your stomach looked bloated when you woke up this morning". "Yea my pant did feel a little tight"Criss stated. Dimitra got up and looked at her son.

"Christopher you look jaundice". "It's got to be the lighting mom". She put her hand on Criss's forehead. "You have a fever Christopher I think you need to see a doctor"she stated. Criss looked at Sandra. "Don't look at me Criss I agree with her you should see a doctor"she said. "All right for you guys and not to upset my mother I'll see a doctor".

At the hospital George was having a drink in the cafeteria when he saw Dimitra and Sandra walk in with John. "Aunt Dimitra Sandra what are you guys doing here visiting Trina?"he asked as they sat down. "No Criss was set here by his doctor he has gallstones and has to have his gallbladder removed"Sandra replied taking John out of the stroller. "Yikes"George stated. "Where's your mother I hope not having a fitght with your wife"Dimitra remarked. "No she's sitting with Chole for a while. I have to say thanks Aunt Dimitra she told me you and dad talked to her and it hit home what she was doing was wrong and stupid"he said with a smile.

"That's good now I'm going to get something to eat I'm straving do you want something George?". "No I'm fine"he said. "Just a chicken salad with water" Sandra replied as she fed John his bottle. After they finished their lunch they were going to visit Chole when George's phone rang. "Hello". "George you have to come it's a miracle". When the elevator doors opened George ran like a bullet to Chole's room. He walked to find his daughter with her eyes opened. "Daddy"she said softly. Tears started to fall as George sat next to her. "I'm right here baby". "Where's mommy". "The doctor is getting her oh baby thank god you're all right"he said as Dimitra and Sandra walked in. "I saw someone". "What do you mean Chole?"Sandra asked.

"A man he told me to go back that my mommy and daddy needed me. He said that little Chris would miss me than I saw a bright light and than I saw grammy"she replied. Tears started to fall down Dimitra's face as she stepped outside. "Dimitra you all right?"Sandra asked walking over. She nodded trying to hold back the tears. "Yea I'm just happy that Chole is going to be all right". "But when Chole said that stuff you went white for a moment why?". "Little Chris was a nickname Christopher's father called him when Christopher was a baby because he was a peanut as they call it when he was born"she replied.

In his room Criss was waking up to see Trina. "Trina what are you-". "Relax boss Sandra told me you had to have your gallbladder removed so I thought I'd come to see you". "Where's Sandra?"he asked. "Went back to Serenity to put John down for a nap I have some good news Chole's awake". "That's great how you doing?". "Good I'm being discharged tomorrow Stella is staying in Las Vegas for a while to help out with Tracey since the doctor wants me to take it easy". "That's great"he said awning a little. "I'll let you get back to relaxing and getting better" and left. Almost a year had passed and everyone was at Serenity for a little get together. "God I can't believe how big the kids are it seems only yesterday they were babies"Criss remarked as the twins were playing in the yard. "I know"Trina replied sitting next to George as Sandra sat next to Criss.

"So how's Aunt Stella doing now that she's come to to terms with your marriage?". "Better I nearly had to get smelling salt when I told her Trina's pregnant again"George replied. "With one kid"Sandra stated. "Unlike you guys twins the second time around" as Criss kiss Sandra's six month pregnant belly. "Did I ever tell you what happened when I told him"Sandra asked. "No what-Chole becareful"Trina called out. "I was in one of those zones and I wasn't listening to Sandra. When Sandra said she's pregnant I said that's nice I'll see you tonight and walked off. I was just about to leave when it finally hit my brain about what she said so I ran out of the car and ran in". "And when he saw me sitting there he came over and say did you say you're pregnant. I nodded than he just gave me this big hug and five seconds later we heard a car alarm going off". "You didn't"George said realizing what happened.

"I forgot to put the car in park instead I put it in neutral and it rolled down the driveway into the gate"Criss stated blushing. Everyone muffled a laugh as April walked over. "Can I have a juice box?"she asked. "Sure" and George got up as April put her hand against Trina's belly. "Baby moving"she replied. "Yea your baby brother is moving inside mommy's tummy"Trina remarked. "Baby be here soon"April asked. "Not for another month April" as George came back with a juice box. "Here and give this one to your sister" and she ran off. "A boy you're having a boy congraultions"Criss stated. "And to you I heard you have two girls coming"George added. Tell my mom tell the world Criss thought. "What are you thinking of naming him?"Sandra stated. "We have two names and we keep going back and forth on it"Trina remarked. "You better make up your mind before junior decides to make his appearance"Criss stated.

"What about you guys have you decided on names". "Well we were think of Iris and Trina"Sandra stated. Trina blushed. Than Criss looked down and saw a puddle on the ground. "Trina I think your water just broke"Criss replied. "I think we finally have the baby's name now"Trina said as George yelled for the girls. "What that?"Sandra asked helping her up. "Since I'm early I think I'll call him Christopher"she said looking at Criss. "Well let's get to the hsopital before another child is born at Sereinty"George suggested as they all left.
